Not the right question apparently

A straightforward inquiry from the ABC’s Emma Griffiths: EMMA GRIFFITHS: How many other dealers did you speak to directly on the phone? Even if it is just for two minutes, how many other dealers?   WAYNE SWAN: Well it’s a matter of public record that I spoke to Mr Grant.   EMMA GRIFFITHS: How many other dealers?   WAYNE SWAN: Well it’s a matter of public record that I spoke to Mr Grant and I spoke to many other people and many other ...   EMMA GRIFFITHS: Put it on the public record who else you spoke to. What other car dealers?   WAYNE SWAN: Well I have put it on the public record that I spoke to Mr Grant, Emma, but that is simply irrelevant ...   EMMA GRIFFITHS: But you’re not answering the question Mr Swan.   WAYNE SWAN: Well it’s not exactly the right question.
