Mr Speaker, I raise a point of order. Under standing order 98(c):

(c)

A Minister can only be questioned on the following matters, for which he or she is responsible …

(i)

public affairs;

(ii)

administration; or

(iii)

proceedings pending in the House.

The minister for small business has absolutely no responsibility for the pecuniary interests of the House, therefore his answer at the moment could not possibly be relevant to the question he was asked.
