Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I think it is fair to say that there are still 46 seconds out of 60 to go and that to take a point of order this early is not allowing the minister to get close to answering the question. If those opposite keep taking points of order, all they are doing is wasting their own time. There are still 46 seconds to go, and Senator Ludwig is entitled to complete his answer.
