My question is to the Minister Assisting the Treasurer, Senator Cormann. In light of a report by the independent Inspector-General of Taxation, which warned the Abbott government that the Australian Taxation Office was ill equipped to tackle a potential multibillion dollar international tax dodge as it prepared to cut 3,000 ATO staff, can the minister explain how the government expects to crack down on corporate tax cheats when it is sacking the very public servants who have the experience and capacity to do the work?
