Thank you, Senator McDonald. The minister is being relevant to the question.

Opposition senators interjecting—

It is incredibly disrespectful. I just had Senator McDonald on her feet, calling a point of order. She was short and succinct and to the point, which many of you are not. As I was answering the point of order, Senator McKenzie and others chose to then just start shouting across the chamber. That is rude and disrespectful to me and this Senate. Senator McDonald, I will listen carefully, and, if the minister is not being relevant to your question, I will call him to your question.
