To Senator Watt's point: it is not in order for a minister if they have answered the question to then speak about any other topic of zero relevance to the question they were asked.

Context, as previous Presidents have ruled, can be provided, but the minister was very plainly not providing context to a question specifically about the aviation market and its competitiveness.
