My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Senator Wong. I refer to evidence given in the Senate last week by Ms Meghan Quinn, General Manager of the Macroeconomic Modelling Division of Treasury, who stated that the government had not released the model code for the GTEM used in the government's carbon tax modelling. The release of the code and other data and assumptions would allow economists such as Henry Ergas, Brian Fisher and Warwick McKibbin to independently model the carbon tax. In estimates you said five times that you would take the question on notice. Will you now release the modelling in its entirety?
