Mr President, the point of order is direct relevance. I understand the position you have previously articulated. Senator Keneally's question, though, was a direct question about what the position of the cabinet was. The minister is giving us a long lecture about how you might approach a target, when the question is only whether or not the target is his government's position. I mean, we are having a discussion about direct relevance on a question to the Leader of the Government in the Senate about what the government's position is.
