I'll deal with the point of order that was raised by the honourable member for Kooyong with respect to standing order 100(d)(i). This question didn't name anyone. It had a reference in it. So it is different to the others. I appreciate the point that you're making about when names are issued, but there has been a long practice in the House, whether it be with owners of businesses, whether it be with community representatives—it's up to the member to make sure they are accurate and verified. So the question will stand. In this particular case, he didn't mention anyone's name. I'll just ask the minister to answer the question.
