The substance of the question goes to: how can the minister—in direct reference to the Minister for Housing—possibly deliver her promised one million new affordable homes when this government has declared war on the building industry? It is not within the remit of the minister for industrial relations to have any capacity to answer that question, which has been directed deliberately to the Minister for Housing, and I don't believe that there could be a ruling to that effect. I'd ask you to reflect on what it is you've described. You might ask the Minister for Housing to provide an answer, and then perhaps the minister for industrial relations could mop it up—whatever it is. But it can't stand that she's not responsible for housing.
