I am raising with you a separate point of order, which is the critique you made about people raising legitimate points of order. We have the ability to do that. It is your role to rule on them. But it is not unreasonable for senators to raise the question of relevance when the minister has made no attempt in four minutes to actually address the question. I am concerned by the suggestion by you that we somehow should restrict our capacity to raise points of order.
