I have a supplementary question to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to his previous answer when he made reference to the Malaysian people swap. Given that more than 800 people arrived illegally by boat in just the first four days of May, how can the government credibly claim that sending just 800 people, the cap, to Malaysia will stop the boats when the number would have been exceeded in just those four days alone?
