Mr Deputy Speaker Thomson, I rise on a point of order. This is a ministerial statement about the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement. I fail to see what the EMDGS, which the previous government ran down under its reign, has to do with this debate. If you want a debate about the EMDGS, let us have it, but this is not the appropriate context in which to have it.
