Mr President, on the point of order: I can understand Senator Brandis’s confected outrage in relation to his defence of the member for Dickson. I am sure he does not have that view really. What the minister has been doing is answering the question. The minister has 44 seconds remaining to provide an answer to the question. The question was very broad in its frame and the minister was providing an answer relevant to the question that was asked. I humbly submit there was no point of order.
