I suspect I'm one of the few certified practising accountants or chartered accountants in the parliament currently. As a CPA, there is a small part of me that reflects on the concept of accountants being described as 'cowboys', 'marauding' or anything vaguely interesting as probably good for our reputation! I want to reflect on the work that has been done by so many people in the Senate and the House across this. I think the work has been important, particularly the whistleblower work. I think that is important. I want to congratulate Senator Pocock, Senator O'Neill and others for making this their life's work.
