The Deputy Prime Minister will resume his seat.

Mr Joyce interjecting—

You can keep talking but your microphone is off. I would make two points. The Deputy Prime Minister was asked about alternative approaches, not to give a character assessment. So he needs to stick to the policy. For those members who were interjecting, I shouldn't have to repeat myself but I will briefly. You will be ejected. There are a lot of members that can't be here and many that are here have gone to great lengths to be here, but if you interject you will be ejected. For those who are interjecting, I can hear the noise and that's disruptive but I will just give you some comfort: no-one can understand what you are saying with your mask on. The Deputy Prime Minister has the call.
