My question is to the Prime Minister. I remind the Prime Minister that since Friday five boats carrying 300 people have already been intercepted off Christmas Island, with over 10,000 people arriving illegally in Australia this year alone. With the rate of arrivals increasing, does the Prime Minister stand by her forecast that spending on border protection will fall by 50 per cent over the forward estimates?
