Mr. Derek Moran:

One of the contributions that we can make is to produce as much publicly available analysis and research as possible to inform the debate around these issues. We have prioritised various issues in our mutual research partnership with the Economic and Social Research Institute, ESRI, and that research gets published and informs the debate. The work we have done around carbon that was published on budget day and the work that we have planned for next year around the multi-annual trajectory is an important contribution, but at the end of the day politicians make the decisions.
