Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister confirm that according to the Australian Public Service Commission, of the 14,273 non-ongoing staff employed in the Australian Public Service, almost 1,000 are employed in Customs, border protection and immigration? Will staff cuts of this dimension compromise front-line immigration and border protection services?
