I would like to add some information in answer to a question that Senator Joyce asked me yesterday. A Treasury official attended the national innovation system review secretariat specifically to support the tax working group. Treasury routinely provides the government with information on the potential impact of tax related policy proposals and this information is not made public until the government determines its policy positions. This is the same position that has been adopted by previous governments.
