House of RepresentativesThursday 30 October 2025

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

I know that was the question, but there was a very long preamble to that question. If it had just been that short, sharp question, the minister wouldn't be able to talk about the issues that you raised. You did a very long preamble and you went over time with the question.

The minister is talking about the membership of the group that you talked about. I like to explain everything just so everyone knows. She's talking about exactly who's in the group and what is involved.

I think everyone will agree she's being directly relevant. Yes, there is a part of the question that you'd like answered, but I can't compel the minister to do that. I can compel her to be directly relevant.

She is being directly relevant right now. So I'll continue to listen carefully to the minister.
