Cormann, Sen Mathias

Senator CORMANN (Western Australia) (14:44): Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Does the Gillard government really expect people to accept that it can come up with a new tax, make predictions budget after budget about how much the MRRT specifically is expected to raise, spend all the money it thinks the MRRT specifically will raise and more, and then not tell anyone whether the MRRT specifically has or has not raised what the government predicted?
