This second amendment to the bill goes to the heart of transparency; it goes to the heart of this government's capacity to be truthful not only with the opposition but also with the Australian electorate. It goes to the heart of this opposition's ability to project its costings models from the same point that the government does. There is no greater injustice to the electorate than an opposition putting up its costing models with assumptions that are different to the assumptions that have been made by the government.
