The Prime Minister will resume his seat. I can't hear the Manager of Opposite Business on a point of order on relevance.

An honourable member interjecting—

No, because there has already been one asked during this question. The Leader of the Opposition asked a question. If the Manager of Opposition Business would just resume his seat for a second. The question didn't have a preamble and it was very specific. Whilst I appreciate that the Prime Minister wants to talk about the earlier news conference today and other aspects of the vaccine rollout, he was asked very specifically about a quote that has been used a number of times. Certainly the Prime Minister was very relevant in how he addressed that. I did have those on my left interjecting that he wasn't, but he certainly was in terms of how he was answering the question at the start. The Leader of the Opposition raised his point of order. The Prime Minister has been relevant, but now is not an opportunity to talk about the rest of the vaccine program or any developments that happened today. The Prime Minister.
