House of RepresentativesWednesday 16 September 2026

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr BURKE (Watson—Minister for the Arts, Minister for Home Affairs, Minister for Cyber Security, Minister for Immigration and Citizenship and Leader of the House) (14:07): I refer specifically to the last part of the question about ruling out a cut. The concept of making it clear that there would not be a cut is exactly the decision that is being referred to in this question.

This government, when we came to office, made clear that we'd be boosting the humanitarian program to 20,000 places. It remains at 20,000 places.
