Mr President, I rise on a point of order. It goes to the question of relevance. The minister has been asked a very serious question about someone who has been illegally detained, and the department treated the complaints in such a terrible manner that the person is now able to sue the Commonwealth. I would ask the minister to treat the question seriously.
