FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The arrival of three asylum seeker boats in the first week of the New Year continues to demonstrate Labor’s failed policy on border protection, the federal opposition says.
In the latest incident, a boat carrying 119 suspected asylum seekers and two crew was intercepted off the West Australian coast on Saturday morning.
HMAS Maryborough, operating under the control of Border Protection, intercepted the boat about 18.5 nautical miles north of Christmas Island, Australian Customs and Border Protection said.
Opposition border protection spokesman Michael Keenan said the third arrival in a week was evidence the people smuggler trade was thriving in 2012.
“Labor must show some resolve, end their arms wide open policy and stop encouraging people smugglers by taking away the product they have to sell,” Mr Keenan said in a statement.
“Julia Gillard and Labor should have no higher priority this year than to finally tackle the border protection crisis they have created.
“In what will soon be 15,000 unauthorised arrivals since Labor unwound the coalition’s proven policies and created this problem – it is time the prime minister adopts the solution that we know works and that we’ve held for a decade.”
The government has offered to reopen the Howard government-era detention centre on Nauru in exchange for coalition support for its controversial Malaysian people swap deal but the talks have so far proven fruitless.
