Mr President, just briefly on the point of order: I am delighted to see Senator Faulkner’s clear and unadulterated interest in relevance, and that is to be welcomed. But I would point out that Senator Macdonald, in his primary question, quite clearly referred to Australia’s innovation system. That was the premise of the question and it was the premise of the supplementary question, and I therefore believe it is entirely in order.
