Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I did ask the minister why the government chose one relatively optimistic model when it would have been more sensible to look at the more pessimistic models. I ask: in view of the fact that other countries going to the global climate negotiations in Poznan will have conducted a more robust and risk averse analysis based on a range of models, will the government now rerun the Treasury modelling using a range of climate models so that Australia’s targets can be more rigorously assessed in the global context, and will the government now rerun the Treasury modelling to examine the 350 parts per million trajectory, and, if not, why not?
