Mr Speaker, on the point of order: I just happened to be reading the Charter of Budget Honesty: costing election commitments document under the portfolio of the minister in question, and it does, in the summary page, make reference to the costing of publicly announced commitments by only the government and the opposition. Minor parties and Independents are not part of that consideration. While there is therefore, unfortunately, a rule for two and not for everyone, the question should surely be considered in order.
