Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the minister aware that the state government in Western Australia surveys individual mining companies about their commodity price and production volume expectations to develop its commodity price and production volume assumptions? Why is it that the state government in Western Australia is then able to publish those assumptions as a matter of course in their budget papers when the Gillard government continues to hide behind spurious claims of commercial-in-confidence?
