Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Why should the Australian people have any faith in the forecasts and assumptions that the minister and the Treasurer have adopted in this election year budget when so many of the estimates, forecasts and assumptions in last year's budget were wrong, including the assumption that only 450 asylum seekers would arrive per month when, in fact, the actual number was around 2,000 people per month?
