QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator HANSON (Queensland—Leader of One Nation) (14:38): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Ayres. Minister, last financial year your Labor government issued more than 350,000 new permanent resident visas and citizenships. This is the equivalent of adding nearly one and a half times the entire population of Hobart in just one year.

Minister, how many new permanent visas and citizenships are you adding to Australia's population this financial year, which ends in just eight days?
