Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance) Share this | Hansard source

On direct relevance: this week, and when we were here during budget week, the Prime Minister increasingly is answering two questions ago every question, and he has just indicated that he wants to do it again. The whole idea of questions without notice is meant to be that, when we ask the question, the answer that is relevant is the one that follows, not the one that comes 10 minutes later. I ask that the Prime Minister be directly relevant to the question he has been asked.
