NO BOATS or ILLEGALS since December 19 2013

Well done to the Abbott govt 

No people-smuggling venture had succeeded in landing asylum seekers on Australia for more than four months, the government says.

In the latest update on Operation Sovereign Borders, Immigration Minister Scott Morrison said on Saturday that vigorous border protection activities was deterring illegal boat arrivals, even into the post-monsoon period when weather conditions usually improve.

Mr Morrison said the practice of turning back unauthorised boats remained in effect.

"Anyone seeking to enter Australia illegally by boat will be faced with the same policies those who previously attempted illegal entry met," he said in a statement.

Mr Morrison said no one had reached Australia since December 19 and that continued this month. But 3351 on 47 boats arrived in April 2013 under the former Labor government. (a Labor Failure their border policy) 

The latest Operation Sovereign Borders operational update says there are now 1281 in the processing centre on Manus Island and 1177 on Nauru, making a total of 2458.

Another 1405 remain on Christmas Island. During the last week, eight asylum seekers were transferred to Nauru.

Seven unauthorised maritime arrival transferees were voluntarily returned to Iran.

Since Operation Sovereign Borders started on September 18, 220 asylum seekers have voluntarily returned to their home countries.

No matter how sucessful the stopping of the boats is and has been, the ABC will run negative on every aspect of Soveriegn Borders policy.

They don'r give a fig if the onslaught of illegal immigrant  has stopped all they are interested in is doing anything negative they can dig up, spend millions on all types of investigations all to wedge the Australian government.

Illegal immigrants are more important than the Australian people and illegal entry and illegal people smuggling is fine by them.

The ABC are the most disgusting political arm of the Labor party in this country. They should be sold off, all of it, and let the pinko's find a job at the Guardian or Fairfax, not that they could be employable even there.

Tony Abbott is a champion in stopping the boats. Under labor we had an avalanche of boats coming in and who knows how many drugs got smuggled in to poison our children. I wonder how many people with serious criminal backgrounds entered our country under our previous government.

No doubt the fact that people arriving on boats get sent to the hell of Mannus island, with no hope to be re-settled in Australia is a big deterrent.  When people still in Indonesia hear from their friends about the atrocious conditions in PNG, they do change their plans.

So this success rivals Howards success hey?

Note the language: No people-smuggling venture had succeeded in landing asylum seekers on Australia

Hardly stopping the boats if they are 'landing' on Manus Island is it.

Drug smuggling? ABC?

Talk about hysteria.

Ex-Manus Island workers report beatings, rapes of asylum seekers

Disturbing allegations of regular beatings, racist slurs and unwanted sexual advances by G4S guards on Manus Island have been made by a former Salvation Army worker.

Nicole Judge, a worker on the island, said she was "shocked and distressed" at the conditions on Manus Island when she arrived in September last year to work in a general support role.

In the three months Ms Judge was on the island, she claims in the submission to the Senate inquiry there was sexual activity in the so-called "rape dungeon" in one of the compounds and was told by the guards to carry a "rape whistle" whilse inside the centre. When she told Salvation Army staff that a young Myanmar asylum seeker was walking away from a toilet block in pain, her Salvation Army team leader dismissed her concerns, saying that "because these transferees are Muslim and actively engaging in prayer that any sexual activity would have been consensual". No follow up occurred, she says.

When another asylum seeker was being beaten against a wall and a metal bed frame to the point he was unconscious by two G4S guards, Ms Judge again complained to Salvation Army management, but was told she was "stupid" and "good luck".

Mentally ill asylum seekers were kept in a separate compound called "Delta 9" Ms Judge says. "I have heard transferees screaming inside this area, and shaking the fence as I walked past." The compound, with no recreational facilities and poor lighting, was monitored by G4S guards, she says.

Ms Judge also claims expat guards told her "the Cronulla riots was the best thing to happen to Australia", while also telling asylum seekers to "f--- themselves" and to "return to their f---ing country" if they didn't stop complaining about their situation. She says she was often referred to by a number, where expat guards would rate the female staff on their attractiveness. Ms Judge says she still has contact with asylum seekers via Facebook.
