Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I ask the minister: isn’t it true that, even on the government’s own flawed figures, half of all middle-income Australian families will be worse off under the Rudd government’s ETS? Is the Labor government simply hiding its estimates and modelling to stop Australian families from knowing how many will be worse off under this big new tax or is it that it simply does not know?
