QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator BARBARA POCOCK (South Australia) (14:28): My question is to the Minister for Finance, Senator Gallagher. Minister, KPMG's sins are on the public record. They've lied to the parliament multiple times, they've used confidential client information to win new audit work multiple times, they've cheated on exams multiple times and they've hounded and mistreated a whistleblower.

Given all of these ethical and leadership failures, do you believe KPMG should be contracted at $1.3 million—as they are right now—to provide ethics training to the public sector's leaders?
