My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. Minister, the Prime Minister has said:

What we are simply doing is returning the CGT system to what was there before 1999.

Minister, was there a 30 per cent minimum tax before 1999, and is there one now under your legislated higher taxes?
