Thanks, Mr Speaker. To the point of order: at no stage have the government disputed that this agreement exists. At no stage have they disputed that the document exists. The question goes to whether or not money has been appropriated within the budget to account for that agreement. You can't get anything, I think, more within the standing orders than that. The only agreement or document we're not allowed to ask about is a coalition agreement. If the government want to argue this one's a coalition agreement, then they're welcome to make that case.
