Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order, which goes to relevance. The House was listening to this answer with a degree of quiet on the basis that this was a serious answer from the foreign minister about a matter of national importance to Australia. For the last 30 to 45 seconds the foreign minister has been repeating himself irrelevantly, and it is not about the question he was asked. I ask you either to bring him back to the question which we thought was serious or to ask him to sit down.
