Episode notes

The Australian government wants authorities to consider opening a criminal investigation against PWC. Earlier this month, emails came out that show the big four-firm leaked confidential government information to clients. A former PWC tax partner in Australia was banned from acting as a tax agent in that country for two years. The reaction has been rough, and there is a lot at stake for PWC.

UK gilt yields hit levels not seen since last year’s “mini” Budget crisis, and Australia’s government has referred a PwC tax leak scandal to the country’s federal police. Plus, in part one of our series on housing, the FT’s Sonja Hutson looks at why there are so few homes on the US market.
