KPMG apologises to whistleblower as firm faces parliamentary inquiry over ethical failures

A parliamentary committee investigating KPMG's audit leaks has pressured the Albanese government to strengthen whistleblower protection laws following the scandal. The Labor-led committee highlighted gaps in current protections that failed to safeguard the whistleblower involved in the case. The government's assistant minister confirmed that Treasury is reviewing both tax and corporate whistleblower legislation in response to these concerns.
