On the issue of consultation, it is simply not correct to claim that there was no consultation. I am pleased that you have raised the issue, because one of the common myths being advanced against the super profits taxation in the mining industry is that there was no consultation. If you look at the work program, the speeches and the papers that were presented publicly by the independent tax review—otherwise known as the Henry tax review—you will see that there was extensive referencing.
