My question is to the Minister for Home Affairs. Will the minister confirm that Customs air cargo inspections have dropped from 60 per cent under the former Howard government to only 8.3 per cent today? Will the minister immediately reinstate the $60 million cut from the Customs budget that has contributed to illegal weapons being smuggled across our borders?

The SPEAKER: The question is ruled out of order because it contains argument.
