Isn’t it interesting that we are getting cries of ‘release it’ from across the chamber, when this was a report prepared for the former government and they did not release it—presumably because when they were in government their standards were a little bit higher and they knew how laughable it was. But in the short walk from this side to that side, their standards have slipped lower and now they want something released which they obviously viewed as so laughable that it was not worth releasing. I say again to the member who misled the House: the Econtech report does not model Labor’s policy on its own terms. Are you going to apologise for misleading the House?
