The member for Mallee will resume his seat. The point that I was simply making was that, so far, the House has not wanted to address the rules of engagement for question time. I simply put it to you that, if the same rules applied to answers as apply to questions, that would even the playing field. It would mean that some of the allowances that are made for argument in questions would not be allowed as often. That is what I was suggesting.
