Order! The manager was given a bit of licence there. He knows that's not the normal approach, but he is entitled to have his say. I was listening carefully because it was a tight question, but the minister was giving facts and figures around net migration.

An honourable member interjecting—

Well, he was giving information about net migration. If he strays off into alternative approaches or policy, which he wasn't asked about, we'll deal with that, but, while he's giving facts and figures, I don't know what he's going to say in terms of net migration, but he is talking about that and being directly relevant. I know you wanted an answer about a guarantee. I can't get him to do that. But, while he's giving numbers and facts and figures to the parliament, he is being directly relevant.
