I can't instruct a minister how to answer a question, nor the terms in which he can answer it. I've allowed you to remind the minister of the question, Senator Gallagher. When the minister is talking about wages growth I would contend that it includes being able to glance across, as he just was, issues of the labour market, as long as he relates those to wages growth. I cannot instruct him how to answer a question or the terms in which to answer it, but talking about wages growth is directly relevant to the question. Senator Wong?
