I'm on the hunt for a microbial saviour – a type of virus that can treat infections rather than cause them.

France feels like an unlikely saviour, given the previous row there, but Australia does have options, Mr Roggeveen says: "This wouldn't be the end of the world for Australian defence."

But among his supporters, his ongoing legal troubles have only further buttressed the image of a wronged saviour.

Some said it displayed a "white saviour complex".
