Under the standing orders there is no point of order, but there is a point. I remind the Minister for Trade that he was asked in the latter part of the question words to the effect of 'certain actions would undermine outcomes'. What I have indicated is that I am happy for a discussion about those matters, but when it is used then to open up this discussion of opposition policies it should be done in a very careful way and not as has been done under previous interpretations of the standing orders. But the Minister for Trade has the call.
