I notice that the provision in the Estimate for people here from Ukraine has gone up for 2024.

I would have thought the projection was that there would not be as many people coming in as previously, particularly with the recent Bill that the Minister has brought in. As the payments would not be as big and a larger number of these people would become engaged in the workforce, the provision should drop rather than go up, so many people will be surprised that it is on a trajectory upwards.
