Mr Boyle is before the courts, dealing with matters relating to recordings and taking documents home. This order for the production of documents is to examine the conduct of the ATO, not of Mr Boyle. It's a really important issue—that we make sure we protect whistleblowers. I'm not satisfied, from the information that I have, that the ATO has done its job properly, and it is incumbent upon the Senate—noting that this is a whistleblower protection issue—to conduct oversight in relation to this matter.
