The Deputy Prime Minister will cease interjecting. Before I call the Prime Minister, I do have to say I almost ruled the question out of order when it was first asked on the basis that leaders aren't responsible for party matters, but the Prime Minister was clearly prepared to answer it. The Prime Minister, in doing that, is within his rights to compare and contrast for a period of time, which I think he's done. He's not, obviously, compelled to use all the time that's there. I'll call the Prime Minister. I'm listening carefully to his answer.
