Mr Speaker, I raise a point of order. I would refer you to page 553 of House of Representatives Practice, where it says:

The interpretation of ‘relevant’ has at times been very wide …

However, it has been ruled that it must be ‘relevant in some way’ or ‘in part’ to the question—that is: how much will the price of a litre of milk go up? I would ask you to refer the Prime Minister back to the question.
