In response to the second question, I referred the senator to the budget papers because they set out the reasons for the government choosing to rely on the Treasury modelling.

Senator Brandis interjecting—

Senator, that is a matter for argument. The response to it was clearly set out in the budget papers. The government will continue to update the budget in the usual way at the MYEFO at the next budget, which is more than can be said for the coalition, who have yet to produce a properly costed policy, who continue to use catering companies and those found to have acted unprofessionally to do their costings and who then come in here and expect people to take them seriously when it comes to the economy.
