I believe Ed Husic's F/Book (I cannot prove - not on FB)
If so seems 'One hand does not know what other hand is doing'
PM seems to have stated today opposite to Ed's thoughts. PM's are below Ed's
-- Also the Hon C. Bowen and The Hon. M. King both have stated '--- we need more GAS, in trans to -that impossible target -Net 0
Ed's :- (also love to know 'who they are ' and 'what/how they came to conclusion so quickly??? Bit shonky in my opinion?
We plebs will never know - commercial in confidence (in other words -no bloody clue)
