Treasury Laws Amendment (Strengthening Accountability for Tax Adviser Misconduct and Other Measures) Bill 2026

Senator DEAN SMITH (Western Australia) (18:23): Of course, had the government cooperated fully with the committee, the committee could have reported earlier than the proposed reporting date. The TEMPORARY CHAIR ( Senator Scarr ): Was that rising intonation, Senator Smith? Is there a question there?

Senator DEAN SMITH: That was an observation. The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Do you have any questions? Senator DEAN SMITH: No, I don't.

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: The question is that the bill stand as printed.
