What ought or may not be considered relevant is in the rules set by the Senate. The minister was alluding to a comment that the minister was about to make. The minister has to be strictly and directly relevant to what you raised, which was a very specific question, but I do not have the ability to instruct the minister how to answer the question. There's an opportunity after question time to debate it, but it was a specific question and I will constrain the minister's comments to be directly relevant to the terms and the question you asked.
