I have a question for you, Mr Speaker. It's asked incredibly politely. Are you able to review the Hansard for the first question, including my point of relevance? I'm happy to discuss this with you offline, but it is my strong view that my point of relevance was exactly in line with the question that was asked of the Prime Minister. I'm happy to take our discussion further offline.

 I want to raise a point of order. Questions to the Speaker are for administration purposes, and we should not get to the point where we're using questions to the Speaker to second guess rulings and to relitigate issues that could have been raised at the time, which is how points of order about order of debate and issues like that are meant to happen.

I appreciate, member for Wannon, that we've already had one discussion. I understand his concern. I take that on board, and I'll ensure that we deal with points of order following the rules. I just ask all members to follow the standing orders. Perhaps, if you're going to make a point of order on words in the question, state exactly what the words were in the question—that will help—rather than relying on what you think is in the question. That would assist the House in clarifying all points of order. I thank the member for Wannon for raising it in the spirit that he did.
