If members behind the Manager of Opposition Business could cease interjecting, it would make things easier for him and me.

Ms Murphy interjecting—

Member for Dunkley, thanks for saying sorry. Just don't interject again for the rest of question time, or you will be sorry, as I said to someone the other week. Before I call the Prime Minister, in response to the Manager of Opposition Business: up until that very point, I believe the Prime Minister was being relevant, given the scope of the question. He was relating his material to the policy area, and the question referred to answers he'd given yesterday. At the point that the Manager of Opposition Business jumped, though, I think the Prime Minister was drifting to another policy topic. He'll need to confine himself to the question.
