Minister, you have indicated that you cannot make international comparisons on the basis of one element of the R&D tax incentive, but that is exactly what you did. You made a statement in this chamber that we have an overly generous R&D tax incentive arrangement. Those were the claims that you made. On what basis did you make that claim? On what basis did you assert to this chamber that our scheme here in Australia was overly generous?
