Mr President, I raise a point of order that goes to the question of relevance. While I am happy that Senator Brandis has spent his day doing something useful in reading the report, question time is actually where the opposition get to ask him questions. He was asked about CSIRO funding and whether or not there had been a real decrease in CSIRO funding. He has not actually attempted to answer the question at all. I draw your attention to the question.
