Mr President, on a point of order: you have directed the minister to the question once. We have been very patient. She has eight seconds to go. We acknowledge that a minister is entitled to provide context, but she was asked only: 'What is the cost of the measures announced yesterday?' An answer on what is in the MYEFO arising from the Houston recommendations is not a response to the question, 'What is the cost of the measures announced yesterday?' Mr President, there is no time for any more context. We are asking for the cost of the measures announced yesterday.
