About this episode
The very people who were meant to be closing loopholes in the Australian tax system have been using that information to advise their big corporate clients.
The scandal engulfing PwC is one of the biggest to ever hit the cosy relationship between the government and private consultancy firms.
And it goes beyond a few bad actors – pointing to a broken system, and a demoralised public service.
Today, associate editor of The Saturday Paper Martin McKenzie-Murray, on what happened when the Australian government trusted PwC to fix our tax system.
