The question contained a range of issues about—Manager of Opposition Business, resume your seat. I'm not taking the point of order. We're not having this. The Prime Minister was asked a question about former issues. It was a broad question; it wasn't about the one specific issue. Other material was in the question. There was a long preamble. I'm not taking points of order just because you don't like the answer.

Government members interjecting—

Order! Members on my right, I don't need commentary. The question is in order. We dealt with the imputation. The Prime Minister is giving information to the House about the other issues that he was asked about in the question. It's different from the one that was specifically about this issue; there were other issues and content in the question. He is being directly relevant.
