My question is to the Treasurer. Will the net overseas migration numbers underpinning the Intergenerational report match the advice that was provided to the government by the department of immigration?

He is not very good with these things. We will release a number that is larger than what Labor had in its last Intergenerational report.

There will be silence on my left! The member for McMahon asked his question. He will remain silent.
