My question is to the Prime Minister. I remind the Prime Minister of evidence given in Senate estimates that there is a backlog of over 19,000 people waiting to have their asylum claims processed, having arrived after 14 August last year. Does the Prime Minister believe that the cutting of funding to our security agencies will speed up or slow down the processing of these claims?
