I refer the Leader of the Opposition to my answers yesterday and refer him, again, to the increased funding provision for ASIO. I refer him to the 2013-14 budget: a 10 per cent increase. I refer him to the fact that, over the life of the government, our funding has increased by 27 per cent. I also refer him to the fact that the average staffing level for ASIO has increased 32 per cent over that period.
