Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. In the wake of the Panama papers, when will Australia include designated non-financial businesses and professionals, such as lawyers, accountants and corporate services, in our anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorism laws, as recommended by the Financial Action Task Force in April 2015, or does the government want to go against international pressure and make it easy for businesses to establish and hide their shady shell companies?
