Diligent, Yes they have to get to Java but many fly in. They would then transfer onto Thai or Qantas and fly to Aussie if we allowed it. But we Don't.So They have to pretend to sneak in so they go to the boats where they know they will be processed when they get escorted into Christmas Island.What a farce this all is. Someone here said put on flights from say Jakarta. That screws customs and the filthy Boat trade. I cannot see any differance. OR Whatabout asylum seekers hiring a large plane, splitting the costs and flying straight in. What are we going to do to stop it. Nothing we could do and we would not be able to keep it off the Australian mainland. Farfetched, Maybe not. RAB
