Scott Morrison has been under fire for not releasing the modelling underpinning his major net zero commitment, but there’s a good reason why.
The Prime Minister has been under pressure to release the modelling that shaped the net zero commitment he is set to take to a UN climate summit in Glasgow next week.
Scott Morrison has promised to be transparent with the modelling when it is finalised. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Gary Ramage Ms Evans stressed the modelling work had been completed and the report needed additional time to ensure it was accessible to the public. DSIER insisted the modelling would be released in the coming weeks in line with the promises made by Mr Morrison earlier in the week.
Treasury secretary Steven Kennedy also conceded his department hadn’t undertaken any modelling on the economic costs of climate change in the “last few years”.
