Mojo ♻️<p>Not a peep from Australia's mainstream media! The Accountability and Corporate Transparency Coalition has praised the Australian government for passing world-leading tax transparency laws. These laws will require many large multinationals, including up to half of all major U.S. firms, to publicly report country-by-country tax and financial data for high-risk jurisdictions linked to profit shifting and tax avoidance.
