Is there an internal contradiction here?

'No evidence' of multinational tax evasion despite international investigations, ATO says

By political reporter Ashlynne McGhee and FOI editor Michael McKinnon

The Australian Tax Office (ATO) has declared there is little evidence of multinational tax evasion, despite several major international cases.

Key points:
•In the past year, the ATO has not conducted any reports into multinational tax evasion
•Dutch investigators launch major inquiry into Credit Suisse Group
•Special taskforce has recouped nearly $100 million for Government's coffers

Technology giant Oracle and Credit Suisse are among the major companies that have been fined for breaking overseas tax laws.

But in Australia, the ATO thinks there is little proof multinational corporations are evading their tax obligations, according to a freedom of information (FOI) investigation.

"We have not seen significant evidence of large multinationals involved in tax evasion," the agency wrote in a letter to the ABC.
In the past year, it has not conducted any reviews or reports into the issue and is not considering any measures or policies to deal with tax evasion, according to the letter.
In a statement, the ATO said it did "vigorously examine" the tax affairs of multinationals.

"The ATO will pursue these matters through the courts if necessary to uphold the integrity of Australia's tax system."

Difficult to see evidence if you don't conduct reviews.

You are correct.... it's all a cover-up.  Again I would suggest this mandates some changes to our current tax system and the way we permit offshore corporations to operate here.

Of course the ABC could now be into fake news?
