A tax return is a document which states how much income an individual or entity reported to the government. In Australia these documents are considered private and are not released to the public. The Australian Election Commission does not require individuals standing as a candidate to release them. In Sweden, Norway and Finland citizen’s and candidate’s tax records are considered public information and are published on the internet.

No; all political candidates should be required to have their taxes specifically audited, prior to entering office and whilst a member of parliament, with a particular focus on their tax returns, to hence discourage lavish and frivolous costs claimed, at the expense of the public, which, if proven, should be repaid with interest.
