Record boat arrivals in March: opposition



A RECORD 2200 asylum seekers have arrived in Australia on 34 boats so far this month, the federal opposition says.


It has also been a record first quarter for illegal boat arrivals with over 3600 people arriving – a 179 per cent increase on the first quarter of 2012, opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison said in a statement.

The federal government’s policies on people smugglers have failed and have resulted in “cost, chaos and tragedy on our borders”, he said.
