My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Senator Wong. I refer the minister to page 29 of the Treasury document Strong Growth, Low Pollution: modelling a carbon price, which states

World carbon prices are expected to range from A$29 to A$61 in 2015-16—

in nominal terms. Will the minister confirm that, with world prices below the range assumed by Treasury in its modelling, this will result in less revenue to government than expected. Is this the case, Minister—yes or no?
