I don't like it, either, because it is off the topic of the question. I'm just going to say—

Mr Albanese interjecting

You don't have the call. I'm actually trying to assist the Leader of the Opposition, because one of the standing order reforms that he brought in was that there could only be one point of order on a question of relevance, which he's had. I'm going to say to the Attorney that I allowed him to relate other policy topics to the matter, but he's now going too far. His linkage to the mere word of integrity is broken, I have to say. It really is. If he wants to deal with this sort of material, he has to be asked another question, to be frank.
