Panama Papers: some of the corporations Malcolm and/or Lucy Turnbull created or invested in since 1981

A reader asked if North Coast Voices would look at the Australian Prime Minister’s investments in light of the release of information contained in the Panama Papers.

A searchable online database is yet to be created and information in the media on the ‘who and when’ of use of the Panamanian tax haven is still emerging, so there is not that much to compare Mr. Turnbull's extensive financial portfolio with at present.

However, I have created a short company list readers can refer to when the subject of Mossack Fonseca’s Australian clients is mentioned.

Companies/investments marked with a red asterisk denote association with a tax haven/low tax jurisdiction.
