Mr President, on a point of order in relation to the requirement for the minister to be directly relevant: I asked a question about the government's fiscal rules as outlined by the minister in the weekend press. I did not ask a question about what the Howard government's fiscal rules were. We all know about the Howard government's excellent track record when it comes to budget management.
