I am ill equipped to adjudicate on this, in that I have not got a document that is approaching the Holy Grail—the agreement—with me. But my understanding is that it reads that there is only one point of order on relevance. Having ruled that the member for Wentworth was not even making a point of order, and him being very close to absolutely disruptive behaviour—and he was very lucky: the minister is being directly relevant, as far as I can ascertain, to the question. I illustrate that, without myself knowing absolutely every program that is available, I could not adjudicate. I realise that I am making assumptions, but the minister has the call.
