This minister makes a complete mockery of question time. He was asked a question on numbers that have lost their jobs in the service industries since the Rudd government has been in power, and nowhere in his answer has he gone near it. This is not just a point of order on the question of relevance but a point of order on the whole basis of having question time, which is to get information from ministers. This minister has been asked three simple questions and seems incapable of understanding them and of giving the figures that we have asked for in them.
