My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to comments by the Chairman of Rio Tinto, who said yesterday:

“From the government’s side, some of the statistics that we have been confronted with in recent weeks can only be described as scandalous …

He also said it was ‘truly scandalous’. With the benefit of 24 hours since the Treasurer was made aware of flaws in his own arguments and his own numbers in his economic note of 9 May, will the Treasurer now disclose to the Australian people in dollar terms all the numbers behind the fancy pie charts and graphs in his documents?
