On the point of order, Mr President, you correctly identified that ministers can be questioned about issues and public statements that they've previously made. I don't think it is in dispute that the minister has provided evidence before about her legal costs. We accept that she may need to refer this question to the Attorney-General for a precise amount if she doesn't know, but I don't think it's in dispute that she's previously made statements about this.
