Former partners interviewed by external lawyers investigating PwC Australia’s tax leaks scandal complain they have not been directly asked to respond to any allegations they might be subject to when the firm releases its response to the scandal on Wednesday.

The former personnel are concerned that the firm will include information about them based on witnesses interviewed by lawyers from Allens/Linklaters or by former Telstra chief executive Ziggy Switkowski without being given the chance to challenge any unflattering or critical assertions.
