QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
Resume your seat. We're not going to slide into bad habits with only comments. You make the point on relevance.
The Leader of the Opposition and the manager have done so, but you're not going to take advantage of the standing orders. So we'll just rein that in a little bit. The minister wasn't asked about alternative policies; she was asked about the policy she's responsible for.
She can do some compare and contrast, but she can't just start randomly talking about the opposition, because she wasn't asked about the opposition and their name or anything to do with that. She was asked about what she's responsible for. So the manager is correct.
I'm upholding his point of order. I just want to make sure you return to the question.
