My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the government’s budget estimate that only 200 unauthorised arrivals were expected to come to Australia by boat in the current financial year. Given that there have been more than 3,100 unauthorised arrivals on 68 boats in this year, Prime Minister, how many unauthorised arrivals does the government now anticipate will come to Australia by boat this financial year, and what will be the additional cost to accommodate these arrivals?
