QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator ROBERTS (Queensland) (14:51): ABS border movement data reveals that, in 2025-26, Australia recorded 476,000 permanent and long-term overseas arrivals, the highest on record. Australian workers can't find enough work, yet this Labor government continues to bring in record numbers of arrivals. Minister, why would you keep mass immigration at such high levels when it's taking work off Australians?
