I apologise if I got my wires crossed. The member for Mackellar should have raised this with me at the point it occurred, but if she had raised it I would have said that the question asked of the minister was in order and that the response was to the question and was in order. I appreciate that there are varying views about whether responses to questions enter into being ministerial statements, but in any case we are coming to a collision regarding ministerial statements, given that there will be another couple today.
