I ask a supplementary question, Mr President. Is the minister aware of the recent comments by Mr Paul Neville, the chair of the coalition’s backbench communications committee, who warned the government against pulling another smoke-and-mirrors trick on T3 by saying, ‘I think sweeteners are fair enough provided you don’t suck people in.’ Isn’t Terry McCrann right when he says that this is exactly what the government is trying to do with its tricked-up T3 dividend trap? Why is the government intent on sucking in thousands more investors in T3, just as it did in T2?
