I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

calls on:

(i)

the Government and the Inspector-General of Taxation to give assurances that any and all employees of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will be invited to provide information to the Inspector-General of Taxation’s review into the ATO’s Change Program, and

(ii)

the Government and Inspector-General of Taxation ensures that there be no prejudice against employees of the ATO for providing information to the Inspector-General of Taxation; and

(b)

requests that all employees of the ATO who provide information to the Inspector-General for Taxation be afforded protection under sections 15 and 16 of the Inspector-General of Taxation Act 2003, and exempted from any breach of section 70 of the Crimes Act 1914 in relation to the review.
