I would agree and always state depending on the 'wording' of legislation.
The wording happens well after the legislation is passed in a sub-committee and that is where politicians sell the wording.
A simple tweak of one word can give advantage or disadvantage to you or a competitor. It can make you qualify for tax breaks or avoid regulation.
And nobody is paying any attention to it. And they make it complex for a reason. You will never understand it unless you are good at reading legal language.
Some of the media report on it, but nobody is reading or believing it on page 10.
Sometimes you get what you deserve.
If you don't demand better things from your government, you will never get them.
