[by video link] I wish to speak on the Treasury Laws Amendment (2021 Measures No. 2) Bill 2021 and I indicate that the Greens do support this bill. Of course we support measures to improve the integrity around eligibility for status as a deductible gift recipient and we also support the measures to remove the concessional treatment of offshore banking units, which is one very small step towards making our tax system something other than a playground for multinational tax avoiders. I indicate to the Senate that I will make a contribution in the Committee of the Whole in regard to the amendment on sheet 1387 foreshadowed by Senator McAllister. I can indicate now that we will be supporting that amendment, but we will have some comments that I will make in regard to both that amendment and Senator Patrick's amendment.
