Order! I think everyone can agree it wasn't a specific question about a figure, a number or a yes or no. I think we can all agree on that. There was quite a lot in that. I think if someone asks the question and the Prime Minister is referring to that member directly—he's done that, and he's entitled to do that. So we're just going to make sure he's being directly relevant to the topics he was asked about—about cost of living and about a number of other points, particularly on the economy, that he was asked about, including in the lead-up to Christmas. The question was about when Australians will get the support they need. That's a pretty broad question. I think everyone can agree with the nature of the question. So I'm just going to make sure the Prime Minister's being directly relevant, and he'll continue.
