CRAIG ZONCA:

The Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury, Andrew Leigh is joining us. Guess what, he has literally just run into the studio this morning. In your running gear, Andrew Leigh, good morning to you.

ANDREW LEIGH:

Good morning, great to be with you.

LORETTA RYAN:

Since our panel has been asked to riff off Governor Lowe’s remarks in his lunchtime talk, I thought it would be helpful for me to focus on the ways in which developments in my portfolio of competition have affected monetary policy.

This week, I will hold a series of town hall meetings across Australia to meet with charity sector representatives.

LEON DELANEY:

The Albanese Government takes the integrity of the charity sector seriously and is acting to provide the Australian Charities and Not‑for‑profits Commission (ACNC) with additional powers and resources.

Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status has been streamlined for organisations applying under four unique DGR registers. This is part of the Government’s commitment to boosting philanthropy and supporting a vibrant charitable sector.

WARREN MOORE:

JAMES VALENTINE:

The Albanese Government is progressing work on its Multinational Tax Integrity package to improve the integrity, transparency, and fairness of the tax system.

The Treasury Laws Amendment (Making Multinationals Pay Their Fair Share—Integrity and Transparency) Bill 2023 was introduced this week.
