I remind all senators that they must observe the standing orders in relation to seeking the call and being given the call. On the point of order, Senator Wong raised a point of order on relevance of the Attorney-General's answer to the question asked by Senator Collins. The question asked by Senator Collins was 'Does the Attorney-General agree?' The Attorney-General, straight up, said, 'No, I do not agree' and then he enhanced his answer. As I and past Presidents have always allowed, if you answer the question you can enhance that answer providing you are on the topic.
