No, the Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat. That is a frivolous point of order. This is not an opportunity to debate the matter. As the Leader of the Opposition well knows, it's an opportunity to raise a point of order on relevance.

Mr Albanese interjecting—

No, the Leader of the Opposition will not keep interjecting to try and debate the matter. I'm making myself very clear: I do extend a lot of tolerance, but I can rule on points of order of relevance without even hearing members if I judge the answer to be completely relevant. In that regard, I'm happy to follow the precedent set by Harry Jenkins. The Deputy Prime Minister has the call.
