Mr HOCKEY (Minister for Financial Services and Regulation) (5:24 PM) —by leave—I present the explanatory memorandum to the New Business Tax System (Capital Allowances) Bill 2001. For the clarification of the House, I also present the explanatory memorandum to the New Business Tax System (Simplified Tax System) Bill 2000.
