No, you are quite wrong about that, Minister. There was a briefing by officers from the Department of the Treasury, who advised us that there had been no modelling undertaken on this arrangement—no modelling at all.

I would also ask you minister if it is the case that, at the Senate briefing on this matter, officers of the Treasury advised the Economics Committee that Treasury officers had actually drafted this amendment. Is that true or not?
