          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:17):</by>  That's not correct. We released, last week, some detailed modelling methodology that PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) had been commissioned to provide, an independent set of eyes in relation to the Treasury modelling. That particular document outlines in excruciating detail the methodology that has been utilised by Treasury and makes the judgement in the end that it was a reasonable methodology that has been used by Treasury, and PwC couldn't think of any alternative databases that might have been used to construct the estimates in any better way. That is, I think, a layperson's summary of the PwC report.</text>
