Treasurer Jim Chalmers furious former PwC partner leaked confidential government briefings

Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers says he is "furious" and "ropeable" at revelations a former partner at consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) leaked confidential government briefings.

Earlier this week, the Tax Practitioners Board revealed it had suspended the licence of Peter-John Collins, a former tax partner at PwC, for two years for integrity breaches.

It found Mr Collins had taken part in confidential briefings with Treasury as it consulted on possible multinational tax changes, and had signed confidentiality acknowledgements on three separate occasions in 2013, 2016 and 2018.
