Yes, on direct relevance. I would put that it is not directly relevant for the Treasurer to be explaining why wage subsidies that we called for are important policy. It is relevant to the question to answer whether or not the billions of dollars of JobKeeper that were gifted to firms that had rising earnings, whether or not they should have been asked to repay a cent.
