Mr President, I rise on a point of order. The minister is not being directly relevant to the question asked. The question was specifically in relation to the budget assumptions and whether there would be additional appropriation to deal with the substantial underestimate of refugee arrivals. She has not borne on that question at all. It is entirely within her portfolio. She should be brought to the question.
