Mr President, I rise on a point of order. As you well know, there was a clear question asked, and that is: how much is financed from overseas sources? I draw your attention to standing order 194(1), which says, ‘A senator shall not digress from the subject matter’. It is a clear question. Senator Sherry, I asked: how much comes from overseas? If you cannot answer the question, just say so; or, if you are scared of answering the question, tell us that—but at least have an attempt at it.
