Mr President, I rise on the point of order. Senator Ludwig's answer was absolutely to the point of the question. It is utterly time wasting of Senator Joyce to just stand up and try to make a simple political point because he cannot get the answer that he wants from Senator Ludwig. Senator Ludwig could not have been more relevant to the question in his answer so far and he still has 37 seconds left. It is a ridiculous point of order designed to waste time.
