Mr President I ask a supplementary question. I refer to the minister's submission to the discussion paper on tax reform in which he supports income splitting between partners to produce a tax benefit of up to $2,000 a year. Minister, is the introduction of income splitting in the interests of families in northern Australia, and is this government policy?
