Senator Cormann, I'm happy to rule on the point of order. The question began—I took in my notes with noise in the chamber—with, 'Has the minister discussed'. I understand that to be a question directly relevant to the minister's representative portfolio, because it asks about the action of a minister. The rest of it is a matter of political debate. The minister is free to address the political debate in her answer. Senator Brown, would you like to continue your question? I believe your question—have you concluded your question, or were you continuing it?
