Scott Ryan (President) | Hansard source

I made the observation last week in question time—I believe the term I used was 'a glancing comment' on other activities was appropriate to be directly relevant. But in this context this subject matter was specifically introduced in the question, and I believe the minister is being directly relevant by addressing former Senator Dastyari because that was introduced in the question; whereas last week I ruled that a glancing comment, but it not being the focus of the answer, was more appropriate to be directly relevant. So, in this case, I think Senator Cormann is being directly relevant.
