On the point of order, I think it is far too early for Senator Abetz to intervene. After your ruling, Madam Chair, Senator Wortley had, I think, been speaking only for about five to seven seconds. I am sure that, given your ruling, the comments that she had only just commenced would refer to the context of single income families and the issues that they face. So I think it is just far too early yet to determine whether her contribution is relevant or not.
