I again say we have released an unprecedented amount of information associated with the economic modelling, far more than any of the state governments' dodgy modelling that those opposite have relied on time and time again as part of their fear campaign. The findings of the Treasury—the same people who advised Peter Costello—are that with a carbon price our economy grows, our incomes grow and our emissions fall from what they would otherwise be. Nothing that the senator can say or do can deviate from those central findings of the Australian Treasury and its modellers. The reality is that those opposite want to oppose this reform because they are not interested in the future. They have never, never been interested in ensuring a brighter, stronger future for this country.
