Yes, I am. I don't agree with the cost. I did my own calculations, and it's fairly simple arithmetic.
In 2008, there was a backlog of 60,000 asylum seekers here. The department tells us that it costs $50,000 a year to look after one failed asylum seeker. If you have 60,000, times 60%, times 50,000, you have $1.1 billion. That's just the failed asylum seekers. The real costs come in when they are released and still have to be looked after. My calculation is that it's roughly $2 billion to $3 billion annually for our asylum system.
