The Leader of the House will resume his seat.

Opposition members interjecting—

Members on my left aren't helping me rule on the point of order. I presume the Prime Minister has not finished his answer? No. So I'll just rule on the point of order. I just say to those opposite—you can keep arguing across the dispatch boxes, but it doesn't allow me to rule on the point of order. The Leader of the Opposition is quite right. It was a very specific question, without a preamble. The Prime Minister's been entitled to some context, which he had in the opening remarks, which is why I enabled him to do that, but it is now time to come to the specifics of the question to be relevant.
