Mr President, I have a point of order on relevance. Senator McGauran asked a very specific question and provided the minister with two contradictory statements, one made by the deputy leader in the House and one made by the deputy leader in the Senate. He was asked to comment on those contradictory statements—not to tell us about all these other matters that he is so anxious to tell us about. This is, in fact, question time, and he needs to respond to the questions.
