Richard Marles (Corio, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Immigration and Border Protection) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. The government promised that it would protect our borders with the discipline and focus of a targeted military operation. How did 27 asylum seekers, last week, camp for three days on an Australian beach without being noticed? Why did they have to wander down the road to find the minister's targeted operation before the minister's targeted operation found them?
