The question was a tight question. It was about a number. I appreciate the shadow Treasurer would like an exact figure—would perhaps like a direct answer.

Order! The Leader of the Opposition yelling at me is not helping the situation. Under the standing orders, I can't make the Treasurer give the figure that you would like. What I can do is make sure he is being directly relevant—that is, not straying into opposition policy and not moving into alternative approaches, because he wasn't asked about those. I'll hear from the manager.
