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.

THIRTY-seven people remained missing today after an apparently overloaded boat carrying Indonesian illegal migrants heading home for Ramadan sank overnight in rough seas off western Malaysia, killing at least two.

Officials said 58 people had been rescued or made it to land by themselves after the accident around midnight near Port Klang, Malaysia’s largest port.

“But 37 people are still missing and we have found two bodies,’’ said Mohamad Hambali Yaakup, head of the Port Klang office of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency.

“We plucked some of the survivors from the sea and others were found on land.’’

Authorities said rescued passengers told them they were seeking to return home to Indonesia across the Malacca Strait -- the busy shipping lane between Malaysia and Indonesia’s Sumatra island -- for the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

Officials had initially said the passengers were believed to be seeking to enter Malaysia

SO again what does this have to do with Australia?

OOPS!

[lightningdance]

This has nothing to do with Australia as far as I have read.

Well done to the  Minister in charge and well done Government. All that has to be done now is process the rest, send the failed illegal immigrants home and look after the genuine ones.

Close down most of the detention centres and lets put this failure of Labor's behind us but always remember and never forget just how pointless the changes Labor made to the immigration policy were and the death and destruction they wrought on people.

OOPS!

Indeed PSA, and all the very many  "oops" and drownings since the Pacific Solution was closed down without thought by the ALP as to the possible consequences.

"Ms Gillard said agreeing to return to the Howard government policies scrapped in 2008 was not easy."

It would be hard to distinguish which action of the  Poor Me and Rudd two ring Circus  was the more notable (disastrous), the inter-ring knife throwing act, or facilitating  the one-way no-frills marine cruises to Australia.

Please provide proof.

this is why proof can not be provided as mentioned in earlier posts add to this the fact that morrisons record for dishonesty grows weekly.......see nothing, hear nothing...say anything but the truth.

''For operational security reasons, the government does not confirm or otherwise comment on reports of on-water activities in relation to Operation Sovereign Borders or disclose details of any operations other than where there have been significant events involving extreme risk of safety of life at sea.

I am bewildered as to why so many on here are anxious and eagerly awaiting any **bleep** in the Governments Sovereign Border protection policy.

Why is it that so may on here eagerly report anything that may or may not be factual, are waiting agog, to see if there is any failure in the policy, to report on any action that may not have anything to do with Australias border protection policy.

Miss Hanson Young would be proud of many on here.

Making something as important as our country's safety and strict border control is tantamount in these times of uncertainty and terrorist  actions.

How has our country become "unsafe" by allowing thousands of asylum seekers to settle here? 

How many of them are "terrorists"?
