Again, I'll see if I can get access to the specific information that you're seeking. But, given that your question goes to overall migration levels, what I can tell you is that there's been a massive fall in what's known as net overseas migration over the three years since our government was elected. You would have seen from outside the parliament the efforts that we took around international students and a range of other categories. What that has meant is that net overseas migration to Australia peaked at 538,000 in 2022-23—the year after we were elected—obviously based on policy settings that we inherited from the former government.
