Prime Minister—

Opposition members interjecting—

I am waiting for people to cease interjecting. I am going to deal with both matters together. It would assist the House if the Prime Minister withdrew in an unqualified way.

With respect to the Manager of Opposition Business's point about the modelling, the Prime Minister still has two minutes remaining. He is only just at the beginning of the question. You cannot insist on yes or no answers, and the Prime Minister is entitled to cover the policy ground of the question asked.
