That may be a fair point, and you may have wanted to make it, but it's not the time to make that kind of commentary, so I ask the manager not to abuse the lenience that I showed him. The Treasurer was asked a question. He's read figures into the Hansard. You may dispute those figures. That's for another time, but you may question those. But, whilst he is reading data into the Hansard, answering the question as he sees fit—maybe not how you see fit—he's entitled to do so under the standing orders. Now he is providing information regarding the question he was asked, so I just ask the manager or any member not to add extra comments to their points of order. In light of what I said before, I just ask the Treasurer to remain directly relevance to the question he was asked.
