The case of Evan Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal reporter being held in Moscow on espionage charges, is only the most recent example of the Kremlin’s crackdown on reporters.
At a recent conference, ATO Second Commissioner Jeremy Hirschhorn outlined how the ATO is transforming tax administration by using tax gap data collected. Essentially, the tax gap is just an estimate of the difference between the amount of tax the ATO collects and what it would have collected if every taxpayer was fully compliant with tax law. According to the latest tax gap estimates from the 2019-20 income year, the overall tax gap was $33.4bn or 7% of the tax that should have been reported.
“Tax gaps focus us on the right things so we can sustain a reliable revenue system for our communities for the long term.”
Elon Musk, boss of Twitter and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, gave an impromptu interview to the BBC on Tuesday evening
Speaking at Twitter HQ, he covered topics ranging from mass lay-offs to hate speech and his habit of sleeping in the office
The billionaire admitted he only bought Twitter because he had to, and described running the firm as "quite painful" and "a rollercoaster"
He also spoke about the mass lay-offs, saying the firm was now down 1,500 staff members from an initial 8,000

BRAVE NEW WORLD: Google Will ‘Absolutely’ Bring AI Chat to Your Searches. “As the world’s most popular search engine, Google serves up information and links in response to billions of queries every day.

An Australian mayor said he may take legal action over false information shared by advanced chatbot ChatGPT.
Brian Hood, Mayor of Hepburn Shire Council, says the OpenAI-owned tool falsely claimed he was imprisoned for bribery while working for a subsidiary of Australia’s national bank.
In fact, Mr Hood was a whistleblower and was never charged with a crime. His lawyers have sent a concerns notice to OpenAI – the first formal step in defamation action in Australia.
OpenAI has 28 days to respond to the concerns notice, after which time Mr Hood would be able to take the company to court under Australian law.
If he pursues the legal claim, it would be the first time OpenAI has publicly faced a defamation suit over the content created by ChatGPT.
