Mr President, I rise on a point of order related to the requirement for the minister to be directly relevant. I have asked some very specific questions, asking the government to be accountable about some decisions that they are clearly about to make. Other than political abuse and rhetoric, we have not had anything from the minister that comes anywhere near what conditions, if any, the Australian government will place on the contribution by Australian taxpayers to this Greek bailout. There is a very specific set of answers that can be provided to this. All we have had from the minister is political abuse.
