Before the minister concludes, I want to respond, in part with some further comments on the withholding tax issue, to the unexpected late intervention of Senator Ronaldson last evening and his so-called contribution on this particular matter concerning the Senate economics committee. A number of aspects concern me in terms of the accuracy and lack of analysis presented by Senator Ronaldson, which I will come to shortly. One of the good aspects, at least, of his intervention and the debate that occurred yesterday was that there actually was a genuine debate around an alternative Labor policy, as presented in the second reading amendment.
