Order! I remind the member for Sturt, as I did the member for Cowan, of standing order 65(b). He manages to interrupt nearly everything that goes on in question time—not only the answers but also the questions and the Speaker. That goes for the member for Braddon as well. The minister has been relevant. The numeracy exercise that the opposition embarked upon is something that has been going on in this place for decades. It is not really very funny. It is not very cute. It only proves, perhaps, that we are as numerate as our predecessors. I think it is just completely disruptive and really something that should be left in primary school.
