Mr President, I have a supplementary question for Minister Wong. I note the minister did not address the period beyond 2020 and I refer the minister to statements made by Treasury officials to the inquiry into the carbon tax bills that they have modelled a scheme for after 2020, where countries make the same emissions reductions as each other, relative to their business as usual path, by the same amount as Australia. Is it correct that Treasury modelling assumes all countries make the same reductions against business as usual after 2020? If so, what is the amount of that reduction?
