AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw and former NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller set to cover-up the PwC tax dodging scandal
AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw and former NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller, who now works for PwC, have already had private communication about the PwC tax dodging scandal that is now being investigated by the federal police.
Kershaw and Fuller have a history of working together to cover-up government corruption, but more on that in a minute.
Mick Fuller is his role as a partner at PwC is currently doing work reviewing ACT Policing which is a branch of the AFP. PwC has current contracts with the AFP such as a $5.9 million contract with PwC for software and support services.
There can be no doubt that crimes have taken place potentially costing Australia $millions if not $billions in lost tax revenue. The person at the centre of the scandal Peter Collins was banned by the Tax Practitioners Board on the 1st of March 2023 for 2 years and with other evidence that has already been made public there is more than enough evidence to charge dozens of PwC staff.
The bottom line to the PwC tax avoidance scandal is:
Peter Collins’s activities relate to information he received during consultations with government ahead of a 2015 change to tax law aimed at multinational tax avoidance. The use of this information to help clients avoid the laws only came to light early this year when the Tax Practitioners Board suspended his licence for two years and rebuked PwC for using its privileged access to confidential government information to gain and service its corporate clients.
Questions from Labor senator Deborah O’Neill at a senate estimates hearing on February 15 elicited more details from the board, including that “20 to 30” people from PwC might have been involved. Responding on May 2 to a question taken on notice, the tax board produced and tabled more than 140 pages of internal PwC emails that revealed what is believed to be more than 50 company staff in offices around the world had been copied into discussions about leveraging the information. All names had been redacted, other than that of Peter Collins.
Treasury secretary Dr Steven Kennedy announced late on Wednesday that he had referred PwC’s head of international tax, Peter Collins, to police, alleging Collins “improperly used confidential Commonwealth information” in preparing tax plans for multinational companies. (Click here to read more)
The last time that Reece Kershaw and Mick Fuller worked together it was to cover-up one of federal MP Angus Taylor’s crimes. In 2019 Angus Taylor was accused of tampering with a Sydney City Council financial document by fraudulently increasing the amount of spending on travel to attack Mayor Clover Moore for being a hypocrite on the environment.
Angus Taylor was likely motivated to do it because his wife, who worked in Taylor’s office, was planning on running for the Sydney Lord Mayor position.
Mick Fuller, who was NSW Police Commissioner at the time, had a phone call from Prime Minister Scott Morrison about the matter and then didn’t investigate the alleged crime but instead Fuller palmed it off to Reece Kershaw’s AFP who swept it under the carpet. (Click here to read more)
In the below video Senator David Shoebridge asks Reece Kershaw about his friendship with Mick Fuller and if he had declared the conflict. Reece Kershaw’s arrogant response is disturbing. Also there is video of Reece Kershaw refusing to answer questions in March 2020 about the Angus Taylor document fraud.
