Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the minister aware that Paul Howes, the National Secretary of the Australian Workers Union, representing more than 100,000 working Australians, has criticised the Treasury modelling as inadequate, calling on the government to do more Treasury modelling on the impact of the CPRS on various sectors of the economy? Does the minister share Mr Howes’s concerns for jobs that could be lost as a result of the CPRS putting additional pressure, for example, on the steel and aluminium sectors?
