Mr President, I rise on a point of order which goes to relevance. The minister was asked a specific question about the commitment of the Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources to seek legal advice on the Commonwealth’s ability to override state laws to build nuclear reactors. The question was: ‘Has he got that advice; has he sought that advice?’ I would ask you to draw the minister’s attention to the question. If he does not know, he ought to take it on notice.
