My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Minister Wong. Can the minister explain why the Gillard government continues to claim that domestic emissions will fall as a result of Labor's carbon tax when the Gillard government's own modelling shows that CO2 emissions in Australia are expected to go up from 578 million tonnes to 621 million tonnes by 2020, even after imposing billions of dollars in additional taxes?
