Mr President, I rise on a point of order. Loath as we are to interrupt the rant, the minister was asked about ANU modelling which identified that unemployed single parents, predominantly woman, would lose $54 a week as a result of the government's budget. That was the question. It is a serious question and it deserves a response. The standing orders do say: directly relevant.
