Mr President, I rise on a point of order. On the issue of direct relevance, in the supplementary question Senator Cash quoted to the minister some words she had used and asked her to define one of the terms in that quoted statement: what is the government's definition of 'transitioning down'? The question asserted nothing else; it asked nothing else. It asked for the definition of the phrase 'transitioning down'. I ask you to bring the minister to the question.
