Order, please! Order, hon members! Hon Dr Ambrosini, yes the Rules allow the Ministers to respond, but there is no Rule that says whether the Ministers like it or not they have to respond. I have given the Ministers an opportunity to respond to the questions and we had ... [Interjections.]
Hon members, if you want to have questions and points of order responded to, you must also be able to listen.
Secondly, the Rules that are used by this House were drafted and adopted by this very same House. Hon Ambrosini, I think that you were not part of this House when the Rules were adopted, but I think you were part of this House when they were reviewed. Therefore, I don't think you have to argue about them. You must look at them and rectify the Rules if you want to amend them, and then you will know which procedures you have to follow.
