Order! Whilst the member for Fadden has got the book out, he might read 65(b). I think that these situations are best handled by the response to the question. I have the difficulty of then adjudicating on interpretations of answers. Whilst I understand the point that is being made by the Leader of the House that the question is based on the perception of the previous answer by the Treasurer, in the case where the Treasurer will have the opportunity in his answer to correct any misinterpretation, I am happy to allow the question. But I note that today we should be very careful with the amount of debate that is put into questions.
