Mr President, I have a supplementary question. I refer the minister to terms of reference sent by Minister Sherry to the Productivity Commission on 18 June 2010 to assess COAG reforms, which state that the commission 'frameworks should be made available for wider use'. Given the Productivity Commission has confirmed that it is using the same MNRF model relied upon by Treasury to model the carbon tax, and the commission plans to release the details of this model, why is transparency in modelling good enough for COAG reforms but not for carbon tax?
