    Like I said before, it is a difficult issue. It will bring out all sorts of other related issues, such as why should the rest of Australia subsidize the rich who can legitimately use tax minimization techniques to reduce tax payable, and on the end of the scale there will be people who complain about supporting unemployed people.

    There is no perfect way to work out a fair and equitable way to help those who need help. What is fair and equitable to a person may not be fair and equitable to another person. Ultimately, it is a political decision of the government of the day.

    What is more important, in my view, is to make sure that the money raised is, as far as practicable, used effectively for the purposes it has been raised.
