Mr President, I rise on a point of order. There are only three seconds remaining for the minister to respond directly to the question. On no view could anybody believe that by attacking Senator Cormann she is responding to a question about the figures in the budget bottom line. There is no element of the three parts of this question which the minister is directly or indirectly addressing. You should bring her to the question and ask her to quote the figures in the remaining three seconds.
