Madam Temporary Chairman, I rise on a point of order. We have tolerated nearly 20 minutes of questions that have had absolutely no relevance to the committee stage of this particular bill. This bill is about the trust fund. We have had questions about all these technical details of telecommunications in Australia which are of no relevance. We can keep going all night. The minister has handled the questions exceptionally well, but we are really not getting to the core issue of what the committee stage is all about. So, unless there is anything of relevance, can we have the question put?
