Mr. Wright mentioned departmental advice and in his report he twice referred to exempting minimum wage earners from income tax. The purpose of this inquiry is in regard to that nexus. With regard to those property related schemes, was there advice from the Department not to extend those schemes? There were public statements from the Government that some were not going to be extended and that position was reversed. Was sound solid advice given one way or another in regard to those extensions?
