It doesn't pass any sort of pub test to have this mob training our senior leaders in ethics. On 15 June I referred KPMG to the National Anti-Corruption Commission. They are also under investigation by ASIC and the Tax Practitioners Board. The current TPB chair, Peter de Cure, is a former senior partner of KPMG, and he worked there for 25 years. This raises a very obvious conflict of interest. Minister, do you believe that Mr Peter de Cure, former KPMG partner, should recuse himself from the current TPB investigation of KPMG?
