Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order—standing order 104, and I refer you to the House of Representatives Practice also. I ask you to uphold the ruling of a previous Speaker saying that:

… a Minister ‘should not engage in irrelevances’, such as contrasting the Government and Opposition—

and I ask you to direct the minister not to proceed, as in accordance with the previous ruling.
