We encourage the Australian Government to:
- Introduce legislation requiring public project-by-project level reporting of tax affairs for all ASX listed and large privately owned extractive companies operating in or from Australia. These laws should be equivalent to laws currently in the UK, EU, Switzerland, Norway and Canada.
- Implement the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) in Australia including re-starting the multistakeholder group in 2020.
