An earlier line of questioning from Senator Milne was about modelling higher figures—I think Senator Milne was referring to a 40 per cent target. Can the minister advise whether there was any consideration given to at least looking at the additional costs of modelling a higher figure? Was that considered in the extensive modelling exercise of the government? For instance, was it largely a linear exercise? Was any consideration given at least to what the costs would be of undertaking that further modelling?
