The Australian Labor Party (ALP) says exempting private companies from publishing their tax affairs is a capitulation to the "big end of town" and has nothing to do with wealthy families fearing kidnapping. The ALP has used a Freedom of Information request to confirm no concerns were put by email or letter to senior ministers. Shadow treasurer Andrew Leigh says the government is proposing extra secrecy within the tax laws without a single person having written of any concerns.
