I am very happy to yield to Senator Milne. But the next time that the minister refuses to answer a question on the basis that it is not relevant to the amendment I ask that you call him to order. He is not able to refuse a legitimate question from an opposition or cross-bench senator on that basis.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Senator Ludlam, it is not within the powers of the chair to do that.
