The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. I'll just say to the Prime Minister, he wasn't asked about an opposition policy; he was asked about the three-step plan. Up until that point he had been relevant to the question. As I've said—last week—when he's asked a question that doesn't ask about alternatives, that is quite specific in its nature, having answered it and having been very relevant to it—which he was up until that point—in the remaining time he does not have the option to simply launch a political attack.
