My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Evans. Is the minister aware of reports that the motor vessel Sun Sea carrying a number of potential unlawful entrants is en route to Australia? Given the suspected links between this vessel and an organised Tamil Tiger people-smuggling operation, can the minister assure the Australian people, particularly in view of those concerns, that the motor vessel Sun Sea will not be allowed to enter Australian waters?
