The Albanese government is taking the next step to deliver its commitment to increase transparency of beneficial ownership in Australia.

Now I’m sure my next guest will try and tell me why it’s so important that politicians should be able to tell me what’s true and what’s not. Andrew Leigh is the Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury and the Member for Fenner. Andrew, good morning.
