My question is again to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the economic modelling by Frontier Economics for the New South Wales Treasury on the impact of the emissions trading scheme on regional Australia and comments reported today by its author that the jobs cost will be ‘very high’ and ‘very severe’. Will the Prime Minister now release his own government’s modelling on the cost of the emissions trading scheme on jobs in regional Australia such as in Newcastle, Gladstone and Mount Isa?
