Part 10/10:
The debate over PWC’s return to Australian government contracts continues to spark significant concern among senators. Following past misconduct involving confidential information misuse, senators from across parties agree that no contracts should be awarded until all investigations—by police, anti-corruption agencies, and tax authorities—are concluded and publicly disclosed. While the Department of Finance considers lifting the ban, the senators warn that such a move would be premature and potentially undermine public trust. They call for patience, accountability, and adherence to parliamentary recommendations to ensure integrity in government dealings with private firms.
