My question is to the Minister for Finance, Senator Cormann. The government's budget papers give no precise economic value of the contribution immigration makes to the growth of the economy and, consequently, the projected revenues in the budget. Not even the Parliamentary Library can find the rules or assumptions used in the budget process to quantify the contribution of immigration to the revenues forecast in this government's budget. My question to the minister is: how much in GDP does immigration contribute to the growth in the Australian economy on which this budget relies?
