That this House:

(1)   notes that:

(a)   Australia’s Future Tax System Review (the ‘Henry Review’) made a large number of recommendations in relation to the system of taxation;

(b)   the Government implemented very few of the recommendations;

(c)   the Government has so far not released any of the Treasury modelling or other relevant information and advice underlying the recommendations; and

(d)   release of that information would be in the best interests of the community by facilitating a fully informed public debate about the way forward for taxation reform;

(2)   orders the Government to release within five working days from the date of this motion, all of the relevant modelling, costings, working papers and supporting information underlying the ‘Henry Review’;

(3)   requires that, from the date of this motion, no existing papers, emails or other information relating to the ‘Henry Review’ may be destroyed; and

(4)   requires the Secretary of the Treasury to warrant to the House that all relevant documentation underlying the ‘Henry Review’ has been released.
