The member for Blair will resume his seat. On this occasion, the minister has addressed the issue, and he addressed it at the start of the question.

Ms Catherine King interjecting—

The member for Ballarat will not give me guidance.

A government member interjecting—

Whoever that is on my right is not helping either.

Government members interjecting—

O'Connor certainly looks guilty, that's true! But I just say to the member for Blair: the minister addressed very much the substance of the question in the first part of the answer. He's now giving context in the rest of the answer. He's completely in order. The minister has the call.
