Senator ROBERTS (Queensland) (14:36): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs, Senator Cash, and relates to net migration, which is the difference between the number of arrivals each year and the number of people leaving. In the October budget the figure for net migration in 2020-21 was negative 71,600. The budget made the statement, 'Permanent migration will not resume until the second half of 2021.' Minister, are these two statements still accurate?
