The point of order is direct relevance. I'd refer you to the remarks of Senator Ryan, when he held this position, that obviously short, sharp questions do require a greater degree of relevance.

It was a simple question about whether the government is prepared to consider an override of vaccine mandates as some coalition senators propose. That was the only topic raised.
