You can continue to ask the same question over and over again, but, as I said earlier, we have a genuine disagreement. You believe you have found a flaw and a hole. On this side of the chamber and on the other side of the chamber, we do not agree. You are basing it on both your own opinion and that of a tax barrister. Senator Joyce, you said you believe this is what the courts of the land will uphold. That is nothing more than an opinion. It is a valued opinion but it is just an opinion. I think we are just going to have to agree to disagree on this point. I am not sure that there is any more information that we are going to be able to give each other, no matter how long we stand here discussing the same question over and over again. It is an opinion. You have a strong opinion in one direction; we have a strong opinion in a different direction. But it is an argument about opinions.
