Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Given that the impact of this tax on the GST was clearly not modelled, how can the government argue it is giving sufficient compensation to consumers? Will the government's advertising campaign, designed to sell the public a tax that it does not want, point out the additional costs to consumers of this tax on a tax together with the increased marginal rate on income taxes?
