THE coalition has vowed to submit its election promises to Treasury by the end of next week.
Labor has taunted the opposition for failing to submit its costings for scrutiny as required under the Charter of Budget Honesty Act.
Pressed on this, opposition finance spokesman Andrew Robb has promised to provide Treasury with the coalition's election promises, after an independent accounting firm had audited them.
"Yesterday, we put all of those programs and our costings to the accounting firm and as soon as they're finished with them, which I suspect will be done early next week, that raft of savings and programs will go off to Treasury," Mr Robb told Sky News.
Asked when that would be, he said: "Certainly by the end of next week."
But Mr Robb said he was worried that Prime Minister Julia Gillard's office would engage in political interference.
"There's such chaos within the government we don't trust the prime minister's office not to get hold of what we propose to do ... ahead of the Treasury costings, to play politics with it," he said.
"It really does worry us."
Treasurer Wayne Swan has criticised the opposition for failing to have their promises submitted to Treasury.
At this election, Labor has released daily updates of its election promises.
Treasury estimates its 17 promises, costed so far, add up to $1.25 billion offset by $797 million in savings.
This means Labor's commitments would have a net cost to the taxpayers of $457 million.
But Mr Robb said that at the 2007 election, Labor put in 85 per cent of their costings and programs about 12 hours before election day.
The coaltion's climate action spokesman Greg Hunt was confident the opposition's "direct action" measures would meet the Charter of Budget Honesty requirements.
"Our costings are capped costings, so our costings cannot be in question," he told ABC television.
In May, the coalition announced it would find $24.7 billion in savings by making cuts to 39 different government programs.
