I understand the Treasurer is quoting the person who asked him the question. If you're asking a question, the person will probably open themselves up to comments for what they have said as well. I think that's a long-established tradition. If he's going to go into too many other alternative policies, he won't be able to do so, but he's halfway through and I'll make sure he's being directly relevant to the question he was asked by the Leader of the Nationals. But, if the Leader of the Nationals asked a question, ergo you're going to get some blowback or pushback from the person asking the question.
