In relation to the modelling, as the senator would know if he has read it, it shows almost no difference from the modelling that was previously released. It shows that the economy continues to grow. It shows that jobs continue to grow. It shows that incomes continue to grow and that domestic emissions will fall to nearly half of what they would be without carbon pricing in 2050. These are all findings that I am sure the opposition will continue to ignore.

In relation to the committee, obviously I am not a member of the committee, but I am advised that the committee is reconvening on Monday for the purpose of enabling senators and members to ask the questions they think are appropriate. (Time expired)
