More than 70 boatpeople bound for Australia have been turned back to Indonesia in July, with this month already the single biggest month for unauthorised arrivals by boat since the latest surge in people-smuggling activity kicked off last September.

Another 44 boatpeople bound for Australia arrived back in Indonesia on Monday, in the largest known single intercept to have occurred during the latest human trafficking resurgence.

Indonesian police found the men – 36 Bangladeshi and eight Rohingya – washed up in two different locations on Indonesia’s southernmost island, Rote Ndao.

The men told police they were trying to reach Australia from West Java’s southern coast but were intercepted at sea by Australian Border Force. They said they were detained in their vessel for 18 days before they were given two boats – each capable of carrying 22 people – along with food, water, lifejackets and just enough fuel to reach Rote, some 286km from Australia’s Ashmore reef.

Before now, the largest confirmed single people-smuggling venture targeting Australia in the current wave was the boat carrying 39 Pakistani and Bangladeshi men that reached the mainland north of Broome in February.

Rote Ndao police chief Mardiono told The Australian that the 44 people involved in the latest incident had been instructed to steer their boats to his island.

“They said they were told ‘You take this boat with these passengers to Rote, back to Indonesia’,” he told The Australian on Wednesday.

“They beached the boats when they see land because they’ve run out of fuel.

“When we checked the boats, they’ve run out of everything so they had no other choice than to land. I think (Australian authorities) have calculated how much fuel they need to get here.”

He said the Malay-speaking immigrants had learned about the possibility of going to Australia through Indonesia via social media.

“They were on TikTok and found someone who’s been in Australia and asked them how to get there,” he said.

Newsflash!
Australia donates 10,000 illegal immigrants to Ukraine to fight Russians on the front line.
Ukraine and Australia celebrate!!!

Years ago, 'asylum seekers' were found on their way to Australia. The border patrol collected them and started to take them to a facility that had been newly set up. When it became known to the 'asylum seekers' that the facility would be located in PNG, the 'asylum seekers' let it be known to the border patrol that the asylum seekers were country shoppers and in no fear of persecution by their home country. They wanted to live among the white people.

If you think 10,000 illegal immigrants would be willing to give up their cushy lifestyle to fight in freezing conditions in Eastern Europe, you would be joking in a different way. The fact is, the illegal immigrants would probably volunteer to fight for the Russians. They pay more.

Sorry Rocky but this rant is insane.

Well Labor have become as inhuman as the Liberals. At least it puts an end to Labors false open border policy claims.
