Madam Chair, I would acknowledge that Senator Abetz may have had a point earlier, but the senator has been referring in quite great detail to the single-income family bonus. She is entitled to cross-reference other issues on occasion. She has centred her contributions—certainly in the last five to seven minutes—based on your earlier ruling. It is perfectly reasonable to refer to other measures in that context, and that is what she is doing.
