My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to the fact that more than 1,000 people have arrived on illegal boats this month, including three boats in the past 24 hours—with one carrying 175 people, the most in over two years. Given that taxpayers will be paying an extra $1.1 million per day for Labor's border failures next year, according to his budget, which assumes just 450 arrivals per month, is the Treasurer concerned that arrivals at more than double this rate may impact on Labor's promised but mythical budget surplus?
