Senator KIM CARR (Victoria) (14:41): My question without notice is to the Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Senator Sinodinos. Can the minister confirm that the assumptions about demand built into the modelling for the Finkel review assume that, out to 2050, population growth in Australia will be 50 per cent while demand for electricity will increase by only 15 per cent? Is this because the modelling is based on the assumption that, under the Turnbull government, heavy industry, particularly aluminium, steel and cement, would no longer be part of the Australian economy by 2050?
