I want to go back to when we were talking about the decision that the government made not to model beyond 25 per cent. I just want to know when you made that decision, because my recollection is that the government had just been elected at the end of 2007 and that the Bali road map was in December 2007. Developed countries were clearly being asked to reduce their emissions by between 25 and 40 per cent in December 2007. When did the government make the decision not to model beyond 25 per cent? Can we clarify what you said about Professor Garnaut’s role in your decision not to model beyond 25? Are you suggesting that it was his idea not to do that or that the government made the decision that it would not be done, whether by him, Treasury or whoever?
