I was wondering whether I could get a ruling from you overnight, Mr Speaker, around the answer that the Prime Minister gave to question 6. The question was 'Does the Prime Minister remain committed to a national treaty'—and I said 'national treaty' twice, just to emphasise that's what the question was about—'as called for in the Uluru Statement from the Heart?' As far as I could hear—there was a lot of noise—the Prime Minister did not mention 'national treaty' once. I just don't know how, then, his answer could be in any way relevant to the question that was asked. I would ask that you consider that overnight and come back to us.
