Last night 85 Srilankans arrived to Australia by boat

Featured Replies

The Australian Government has intercepted a boatload of potential unauthorised arrivals in waters about 50 nautical miles off Christmas Island.The boat, which had 85 men on board, was first detected by the Border Protection Command on 19 February, by an Orion P3 aircraft.It was then intercepted by HMAS Success in the early hours of 20 February, en route to Christmas Island. The vessel was not engaged in any legitimate commercial activity.

The passengers identified themselves to HMAS Success as being Sri Lankan nationals. They indicated their intention to reach Christmas Island.During subsequent contact between HMAS Success and those on the boat, it was determined that their vessel was unseaworthy.Because of fears for their safety if they remained on the unseaworthy vessel, the group agreed to come aboard HMAS Success last night. They appear to be in good health.

The government’s primary concern at this stage is for their health and wellbeing. This group will remain on board HMAS Success until more details are available.
