I thank Senator Roberts for the question. There was a pretty wide discussion on tax and Australia's tax system. I did not attend all of the sessions and I was not at a session where that was raised. There was discussion around housing, as you would expect, and different views were being put around the table.

What I picked up from the two sessions that I attended late on the third day was a view about ensuring that the tax system is efficient. There were certainly views about it being simplified. There were different views around business taxation, and there were discussions around intergenerational equity—about how the tax system is working for different generations. But the specifics of what you've raised were not raised with me by any roundtable participant, and I was not at a session where they were raised as something that people were seeking. It's not something the government has worked on.
