Resume your seat. My ruling is that within the 20 seconds of answering the question I haven't heard much of what the Prime Minister has said. I'm going to ask the Prime Minister to make his remarks directly relevant. It was a tight question. I remind the Leader of the Opposition: relevance is the point to make. It is not about making additional statements. So, if the Prime Minister wants to redirect the question, he's entitled to do that under the practice and standing orders as well, but he simply can't go off onto other topics, and I'll make sure he's being relevant. I want to make sure what he says further is going to be directly relevant, but so far, within 20 seconds, he hasn't addressed the core part of the question.
