Mr President, I rise on a point of order. Sessional orders require that a minister’s answer be directly relevant to the question asked. The question asked was very simply whether or not Treasury had modelled an income-tax surcharge on so-called high-income earners. What other people’s policies might be is completely and utterly irrelevant.
