Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I suspect you did not quite hear what Senator Cormann was saying. No question was asked. There was not a supplementary question asked by Senator Sterle at all and, if you look at the standing orders, answers have to be to questions. If there is no question asked, there cannot be an answer given.
