Resume your seat. I think everyone heard that point of order and can see it for what it was. If the minister is updating the House on his actions that he's taken, which is the question that was asked, that's an abuse of the standing orders. He was updating the House on who he was meeting with about the issue the member for Parkes had asked him about. He couldn't have been more directly relevant. No-one thinks that's anything other than the case. As I said, if this continues, I will simply not take points of order. I just won't take them, and the minister will continue. So that is in your hands, those people who take points of order.
