My question is again to the Prime Minister, and I refer to his previous answer on a properly informed economic policy. Was the Treasury secretary, Ken Henry, right when he said that the government’s policy outcomes in relation to water reform and climate change would have been far superior had Treasury’s views been more influential? Prime Minister, what institutional changes has the government made since this statement by Dr Henry to ensure that it is properly responding to the advice of the Department of the Treasury?
