    Hold course Scotty , your doing great.

    Immigration Minister Scott Morrison confirmed the government would not allow any of the group to settle in Australia.
    'It is our intention those who can be returned should and must be returned,' Mr Morrison told reporters in Sydney on Friday.
    India has agreed to take back any of its citizens and will consider taking Sri Lankan nationals who are Indian non-citizen residents.
    The decision pre-empts the hearing of a High Court challenge against the government's decision to hold the asylum seekers at sea after their boat was intercepted by Australian border protection authorities in late June.
    The court was due to hear the challenge the week after next.
    The whereabouts of the Customs boat and the welfare of those on board have been closely guarded secrets by government officials.
    Mr Morrison, who finalised the deal with Indian government figures earlier in the week, said the people on board the vessel were receiving 'excellent care'.
    He would not go into details of the asylum seekers' nationalities.
    'That is a matter now that Indian consular officials will work through,' he said.
    'They have requested that access. They will be given that access and will await their process to be completed.'
    The minister ruled out any of the asylum seekers being resettled in Australia.
    'They won't remain in Australia. They will not be resettled in Australia,' he said.
