I am responding to the issue of transparency because I understand the concerns of senators. The government has asked Treasury to examine ways to improve transparency so that we can monitor whether large businesses are paying a fair share. Senators may wish to refer to the media release issued by the Assistant Treasurer yesterday on that topic. As I have said previously and as the Treasurer has said, the administration of tax law is independent of government. (Time expired)
