My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to evidence given at the carbon tax inquiry by Treasury officials, that they modelled:

… a scheme where countries make the same emission reductions as each other relative to their 'business as usual' path. So the analysis is that OPEC would reduce its emissions relative to its business as usual path by the same amount as Australia.

Is it really the government's assumption that countries such as Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia will reduce emissions by five per cent in 2020 and by 80 per cent in 2050?
