This is what $22 billion laundered through the Australian economy looks like up close.

Yesterday, for the first time, four of Australia’s Tranche 2 professions shared a single forum. Lawyers, conveyancers, accountants and real estate agents, along with AUSTRAC CEO Brendan Thomas and peak industry bodies, sat in the same room and had the conversation that has never happened before: not within a single sector, not at arm’s length through guidance documents, but openly, together, with the hard questions on the table.
