Senator Steele-John, you're stretching the liberties of a point of order. Your point of order is on direct relevance. I will say that you are referring to the part of the question at the end. The minister is being directly relevant to the question asked, because he needs to be directly relevant to all or part of the question asked. I cannot instruct him on how to answer a question. There's an opportunity after question time for debate. Senator Fifield.
