My question is to the Prime Minister. Last night, Guardian Australia published a list of 1,500 companies that can keep their tax arrangements secret from Australians. The government continues to oppose Labor amendments that would ensure tax transparency to its multinational tax bill in the Senate. Why is the Prime Minister fighting tooth and nail for megawealthy companies to keep their tax arrangements secret from Australians when the government wants to make every Australian pay more, with an increased GST?
