Minister, you mentioned that the ATO has been effective in closing loopholes. There seems to be a swamp which they're neglecting, and that is the broader range of multinationals that are avoiding taxation. You just said that they've earned $17.2 billion, but there is a lot more than that—a hell of a lot more—and we need to address that.

But coming back to the point of Senator Patrick's amendment: do you see a problem with the companies on that list? They've been at it now for 25 years; surely that's enough to get their house in order?
