My question is to the Minister for Finance and Deregulation, Senator Wong. Can the minister confirm that the cost of asylum-seeker management has blown out by a further $1.75 billion, according to the estimates in last night's budget, while at the same time Labor is cutting $2 billion from support for working families? Why should struggling Australians pay the price for Labor's inability to manage our borders?
