The second objection we have to this proposition is that on face value it sounds very simple, like going down to the shop and buying a doughnut and getting a receipt for it. You know what you paid for and you have your receipt. The reality is that the information sent out would be misleading. It may surprise the members opposite but something like 4½ million Australians file their tax returns in the first two months of the tax system, and that is a good thing.
