It created Project Wickenby to fight the illegal use of tax havens. It has collected hundreds of millions of dollars of lost revenues as a result. It has charged 67 people and convicted 26.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3031300\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why will the government not follow the Australian government's lead and actually crack down on tax evaders who use these tax havens?</p>",
