It was a cunning stunt, as the member for New England said. I will get him on the Hansard record!

Labor will be voting in favour of these bills, but not without first expressing our concerns about this government's underperformance in addressing multinational profit-shifting, about their lack of support for Australia's shipping industry and about their interest in stunts, rather than real reform. For this reason, I will be supporting the amendments moved by our side and will continue to support greater action, in particular on that crucial issue of multinational profit-shifting.
