Mr Speaker, on a point of order: the purpose of question time is to hold ministers to account for their portfolio responsibilities. The topic that the Leader of the Opposition has raised is not within the ministerial responsibilities of the Deputy Prime Minister, and that is very clear. As such, the question should be ruled out of order.
