Senator KEMP (Assistant Treasurer)(1.21 p.m.) —Senator, you have not the slightest bit of evidence for what you have asserted—that there will be more tax cases. I think there is general agreement that this law is written in a more straightforward language, in a simpler form. So the reverse should occur. It is no good your just standing up here and asserting something. We can assert anything. But you did not adduce any evidence whatsoever for that assertion. In fact, the counter argument is a powerful argument—that because the provisions of the law are written in a more straightforward language, in a way which is more easily understood, the very reverse will occur. So we cannot accept the arguments that you have put forward.
