Mr President, on a point of order on the question of direct relevance: what the supplementary question was directed to was whether the minister believed that small business in South Australia was entitled to expect the undivided attention of a single minister—the senator having pointed out in his primary question that there have been five changes in that portfolio since 2011. The supplementary question is much narrower and more specific than the primary question. It asks only whether or not small business in South Australia is entitled to expect the undivided attention of a single minister. The minister has not addressed that issue at all.
