    10   Australia’s Future Tax System review

The order of the day having been read for the resumption of the debate on the motion of Mr Hockey—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.

Question—That the motion be agreed to—put.
