QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator BELL (New South Wales—One Nation Whip) (14:47): In the 2025-26 budget, the government forecast a net overseas migration of 260,000 for the last financial year. With the actual numbers soon to be revealed, what are the government's current figures for net overseas migration for the last financial year, and why does the Albanese government continually get its migration forecasts so badly wrong?
