My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to the fact that more people have arrived illegally by boat at the start of this year than in any other year.

On what basis can the Treasurer credibly present a budget update claiming to have stopped the boats and that expenditure on boat arrivals will fall by almost $2 billion over the forward estimates?
