Senator BACK (Western Australia) (14:38): Is the minister aware of any alternative approaches to the hiring of young people in this country? The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, on a point of order. Senator Wong: Thank you, Mr President. I wonder whether you could consider whether that question is in order. Odgers' makes it clear that a question which invites a minister to comment on the policies of non-government parties or other parties is not in order. There are a number of rulings—by President Sibraa, President Reid and President Calvert—which I am happy to go to. I am raising a point of order about whether the question that has been asked is in order. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Wong. In recent years, and including with my predecessor, that question—and, in fact, the exact wording of that question—has been asked and accepted on many occasions. Again, there are many aspects now to reflect upon in question time and I will also take that on board. But the minister is in order to answer the question as it was asked.
