Mr President, I have a point of order. It goes to the requirement in standing orders to be directly relevant. The question asked the minister whether the Labor Party stood by its previous commitment, repeated both before and after the 2007 election, not to increase taxes as a percentage of GDP. It is a perfectly straightforward, clear and unequivocal question that warrants an answer.
