Mr President, I rise on a point of order. The minister has nine seconds remaining in which to actually answer and be directly relevant to the question that was asked. It was about the modelling and the number of jobs that will be lost as a result of the government’s proposed ETS. It was not about what my policies may or may not be. It was a direct question deserving of a directly relevant answer. Even if it is not deserving, it is required under sessional orders.
