Order! The Prime Minister has the call and I ask the Prime Minister to take some recognition of the comments just made by the member for Fadden. I say to the House that often there are things that occur on the run—and this nearly gets me entering into the answer that the Prime Minister is giving—that in other circumstances are given different interpretations. I think that it is fair, whether it was a point of order or not, that I gave the opportunity for the member for Fadden to put the point that he has made. I think, if we leave it at that and get back to the matters that have been raised with the Prime Minister, it will assist the House.
