Mr Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The member does need to at least address the substance of the bill before the House. I thought he was beginning a preamble; it is turning into a treatise. There are many opportunities in the House for him to give his opinion and his experiences at all of his country shows—and we all in outer metropolitan and rural electorates go to those—but this is about the Trade Support Loans Bill and he has to at least make reference to it.
