Senator Pratt, I'm glad that you felt the urge to confess your error there about the interjections—they are always disorderly. I was having trouble hearing the last part of the minister's answer. I've allowed you to emphasise that part of the question, but I do believe the minister was being directly relevant to the earlier part of the question you read out. I cannot instruct him how to answer a question. I've given you the opportunity to emphasise part of it. The minister does however have six seconds left in his time to answer. I hope I can hear it.
