My question is to the Minister for Finance. On 16 November, the Tax Practitioners Board ruled that the former PwC partner Peter Collins leaked confidential government tax plans and sold advice to clients to help them sidestep multinational tax avoidance laws. Since then PwC has been awarded more than $77 million in new government contracts. All you and the government have done today is speak of reputational damage as the penalty for PwC and seek assurances from PwC that they won't do it again. Will the government immediately cease and ban all contracts with PwC?
