I think the media should be held to account... what do you think?

I watched it.

Is the PM treasury?
What else does the treasury do apart from modelling?

Some questions are just downright freakin dumb from the onset....

Treasury advises the PM, he must be aware of all their advice and if he's not then he's negligent.

Treasury warned against cutting payments. I'm sure you can download the results of modelling from their sites.

Fair enough, all points valid however the media has a habit of asking anyone from government anything... regardless of whether it's the appropriate department.

My point was he is an interupting interviewer.
The fact that I personally find him worm like is irrelevant.

I haven't watched it but as a concept yes, the PM most certainly should know whether or not Treasury has modeled the effects of a significant government policy and he should release that modeling publicly.

Some things like defence and so on need to be kept confidential but modeling a welfare policy sure doesn't.

If there's nothing to hide then just release it and that settles the issue.
