No, it is not the nuts of this bill at all. But if you want to ask questions beyond the scope of this bill I am happy to consult the Treasurer’s office and come back to you to respond to what is quite a broad question. This bill is quite specific about its intent. You are asking a general principle question, which I am happy to get you more information on, Senator Bushby—happy to—but you are not going to be able to get that before this bill is voted on. You have actually asked about a tax policy principle rather than the specifics of this individual legislation.
