The Leader of the Opposition and I think the member for Isaacs are interjecting following the point of order that was made on relevance. I am listening to the Prime Minister very closely. I should not have to repeat after every point of order that if the minister or the Prime Minister is on the policy topic they are being relevant to the question. They may not be answering the question in the way members would like, and I can understand members' frustration, but I am not going to endure an appeal mechanism through interjections on points of order.
