My question is to the Prime Minister. Yesterday coalition senators in the Senate Economics Legislation Committee backed tax secrecy because, as they state, 'the Australian public has a poor understanding of corporate tax'. Does the Prime Minister agree with his senators that Australians are mugs who do not understand the tax affairs of wealthy companies? How smart do Australians need to be to understand that one in five of these companies pays no tax? Will the Prime Minister dump this policy of secrecy?
