Consistent with well-established practice, it would be completely inappropriate for me to talk about the specific tax affairs of individual taxpayers. But I would again make the general point that we would expect that all businesses, including multinational businesses operating in Australia, pay their fair share of tax in relation to profits that are generated in Australia. That is something that we continue to pursue in order to ensure that that appropriately takes place. The most appropriate way to pursue these important issues is through international fora like the G20, which is what the Treasurer, Mr Hockey, is doing very energetically as we speak.
