My question is to Senator Lundy, the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship. I refer the minister to the government's announcement yesterday of the expansion of onshore processing for unlawful arrivals by an additional 700 detention beds, including the reopening of the Pontville detention centre and thousands of additional community places under the bridging visa program. What is the additional cost of the new measures announced yesterday?
