Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I also refer to page 553 of the House of Representatives Practice and the part referred to by the member for O’Connor on a point of relevance and your additional comments from that page, when you said:

On other occasions such comments have been permitted.

But I would read the rest of it, which says:

... although a question should not ask a Minister about opposition policy as the Minister is not responsible for it.

It is clearly out of order.
