I am happy to rule. My previous request, which was not a ruling and which the minister kindly complied with, was in the context that I thought that could have quite easily been a reflection. This, however, and the terminology he is using now is, in my view, a matter for debate. It is not a reflection on an individual member. I think this is a matter that can be debated after question time or debated at another time in the chamber. The minister's not breaching a standing order with the language he's using now, and I'm listening very carefully. Senator Cormann, are you finished answering?
