On the point of order, Mr President. What we now have is a rephrasing of the question from the questioner. The minister has been specifically answering the question dealing with both the licence fee rebate and the issue about rebates for commercial broadcasters. The minister has been specifically dealing with the question that has been asked. But, of course, what we now have from the opposition is a rephrasing of the question with the question now put in the frame: will you answer yes or no? I ask, Mr President, respectfully, that you rule that out of order, because that part was not the original question and is a rephrasing of the original question.
