"I'll be just running the joint," boasts Somyurek in one recorded exchange. "It's who I say is going to be the f---ing premier."

A Victorian Labor Party powerbroker has threatened to end the careers of several federal MPs, while also claiming to be “protecting” Anthony Byrne, deputy chair of the Australian Parliament’s powerful intelligence committee.

Adem Somyurek, a cabinet minister in the Victorian state government and a member of the ALP national executive, has talked about his political reach in Canberra extending to federal Labor leader Anthony Albanese, declaring: “Who’s going to protect Albo?”

 Among the most extraordinary things about this cash exchange, which took place on May 13 and is secretly captured on tape, is that for Somyurek, it was not unusual. Even more extraordinary is the way this former taxi driver has amassed his immense political power – not just in Victoria but at federal level.

Twenty years of acting had left him frustrated at not being taken seriously. Friends who had known him describe him as the model of conservative country-boy sobriety – they never saw him drink or smoke.

Aidan Collymore (University of Portsmouth), The Perception of the Ethics of Tax Evasion in the United Kingdom:

This research’s focus was ‘The perception of the ethics of tax evasion in the United Kingdom’. Previous research had identified numerous factors that influence tax morale, including: Age; gender; education level; nationality; religion; trust in government; career/education; country’s economic situation as well as view on law abiding. Age and religion were not focussed on due to the population sampled.
