Yes, it is a point of direct relevance. Senator McCarthy asked about public reports that Ms Archer said that she felt bullied, threatened and intimidated by prime ministerial staffers prior to the vote. So I put it to you that a reference to what happens after a vote is actually not relevant to the question. This is about activity or alleged behaviour by prime ministerial staff in the lead-up to a vote.
