The Prime Minister did address that at the beginning of the question, and he is talking about spending. He's obviously not agreeing with the context of the question, so he's providing information about why he disagrees with it and giving some contrast. So he is being directly relevant. The beginning part of the question—he tackled the nub of it straightaway. If he hadn't done that—we're going to make sure he's being directly relevant. He has been. He won't be able to talk about the opposition; he hasn't been doing that for the entirety of the answer. But he's in order now.
