I rise to the point of order. Consistent with standing order 191, I invite Senator Gallagher to provide an explanation to the Senate in relation to the answers she gave to senators Hume and Cash. Senator Gallagher gallantly sought to explain the statement by the Treasurer that the $275 cut in power bills is in the budget. But, despite the Senator Gallagher's gallantry, Mr Chalmers has spoken in the other place, where he has confessed that he misheard the question. Would Senator Gallagher like to correct the record?

I'm advised, Senator Birmingham, that that standing order doesn't operate in that way, so I'm not asking the minister to do anything.
