Thank you, Mr President. Senator Cash could not have been more directly relevant to the question that was asked. As the President often advises and confirms for the chamber, the opposition can ask questions. As long as the minister is directly relevant to the question, which she was, you are not able to direct the minister on how to answer the question.
