I still haven't heard/seen an explanation of how the boat in WA was able to slip past ABF surveillance.

According to Border Force they are having problems with staffing. People on leave and sick leave presumably but they can call on the defence force if required to fill gaps. They also say they will need new boats in a couple of years to replace an ageing fleet.
So even though their budget has increased they have performed less sea and air patrols than previously.
They also say they have a current operation in the North tackling illegal fishing so their focus might have been elsewhere.

According to other reports the boat they came on dropped them off (7.30 report showed some of their dumped rubbish on a beach) and the group split up wandering around for a day or two before locals found them, gave them food and water then contacted authorities.
Which suggests the boat and crew was long gone.

Maybe we will find out all the details at a later stage.
