The Greens senator Barbara Pocock has accused police of conducting an “inadequate desktop assessment” about whether to investigate PwC’s tax advice scandal further in 2019, as the tax office and police blame each other for inaction.
Pocock made the remark in Senate estimates on Tuesday evening after Australian Taxation Office officials revealed they first alerted the Australian federal police of the suspected breach of confidentiality in 2018.
