I take the minister’s interjection: ‘Far too many,’ he says, and I would agree with that. I am one of those who genuinely celebrated the Treasurer removing a couple of thousand pages of redundant tax law. I remind the chamber, in view of the minister’s remarks, that more legislation has been produced in the last 15 years than in the previous 85. So we are being swamped by legislation, and the government has got a lot to do with that.
