I also just point out one simple fact. The shadow minister indicates that seven years is an outrageous period to go back. I simply make the point that in relation to the Tax Laws Amendment (2006 Measures No. 3) Act passed in 2006, the commencement of that act was 1 July 2000. So six years was okay on that occasion.
