Just before I call the Prime Minister, I'm just going to say to the Leader of the Opposition, if it hadn't been he as Leader of the Opposition asking the question, I would have simply moved to the next question. Whilst questions can have preambles, that character inclusion really is inappropriate. And we're not going to have questions where there's a commentary about the person being asked the question. So I'm going to ask the Leader of the Opposition to rephrase his question.
