FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda THE arrival of another boatload of asylum seekers on Christmas Eve is more evidence Australia is caught in a ”border protection crisis”, according to the opposition.
A boat carrying 116 suspected asylum seekers and two crew was intercepted off the West Australian coast on Saturday.
The Home Affairs Minister, Jason Clare, said the boat was intercepted by HMAS Maryborough, which provided assistance to the vessel at the request of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.
The suspected asylum seekers were transferred to Christmas Island yesterday for security, identity and health checks.
The opposition border protection spokesman, Michael Keenan, issued a statement saying the latest arrival was a reminder the Gillard government had ”evaded responsibility” for its ”border protection crisis”.
”Even now, they refuse to admit that they created the surge in illegal boat arrivals by the enormous pull factors they put in place when they dismantled all of the effective policies put in place by the previous Coalition government,” Mr Keenan said.
”People smugglers have been able to watch Labor’s policy gymnastics with glee as every backflip, broken promise and retreat invigorated their business model.”
The Immigration Minister, Chris Bowen, and the Foreign Minister, Kevin Rudd, met with their opposition counterparts on Friday for talks to break the deadlock on border-protection policy.
However, discussions ended in a stalemate, with all parties agreeing only to keep talking, despite the government offering to look at reopening a processing centre on Nauru in exchange for the Coalition’s support in passing the so-called Malaysia solution legislation.
