Can I just have some direction here. I asked the minister a series of very specific questions in relation to the impact on health services. I also have a series of questions in relation to aged care, other specific matters—

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Is there a point of order, Senator?

Can I just ask: is the minister now going to answer my questions? And then, when she has finished, will I be interrupted by yet another person on the other side or will she answer all my questions this evening?

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Senator Fierravanti-Wells, that is not a point of order and that is not a matter for the chair to determine.

When am I going to get an answer to my questions?

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Senator Joyce, you have the call.
