Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I draw the minister's attention at least to page 8 of the committee Hansard from 26 September, where this Treasury evidence was given. I further ask the minister whether any of the OPEC countries have committed to matching the government's stated objective of reducing emissions by 80 per cent against business as usual scenarios by 2050, as stated by the Treasury officials? And, if the minister is unable to name one, doesn't this demonstrate that this carbon tax modelling is flawed and should be redone?
