Mr President, on the point of order, that is just absolutely not true. What Senator Conroy is doing is replying to Senator Bernardi’s question about why the Labor government refuses to refer the NBN to the Productivity Commission. That is what the question was about.

The minister was clearly on the topic of the question asked of him.
