There is a difference between giving payment for info; I suspect it has always been done, and paying someone to take boatload of foreign nationals to another country; which is people smuggling.  🙂

However, paying people smugglers is reportedly an established practice dating back to 2010 under the Rudd government.

Considering that Australian government under Rudd, or Gillard, never turned boat back, they obviously were not paying the smugglers to smuggle people.  As i said, all governments, or their agents, pay various unsavory characters for info.  Always have done always will.
