Mr President, what we have now heard is a rant as an excuse for a point of order. The minister has been directly relevant to the question and has been addressing the second supplementary question. Unfortunately, Senator Brandis saw too much of an opportunity to provide a rant rather than listen to the response by Senator Conroy in respect of the second supplementary question. The minister continues to be relevant and is answering the question and there is no point of order.
