Senate debates Regulations and Determinations

Tax Agent Services (Code of Professional Conduct) Determination 2024; Disallowance


David Pocock

David Pocock ACT, Independent

4:10 pm

I seek leave to make a one-minute statement.

Leave granted.

I thank Senator Smith for lodging this disallowance, and I share the concerns that industry reps have raised around the poor process and consultation. However, I also recognise that there has recently been good-faith engagement from the government, and they've come to an agreement with industry bodies to work through the remaining outstanding issues. I believe the government should have the opportunity to deliver on this. Should they not, I'd be very happy to support a disallowance, but at this stage I won't be.
