People smugglers have upped the tempo now that Kevin Rudd is back - and it’s sure costing:

Almost 1300 people have reached Australia since he seized his old job, taking the Christmas Island population to a record of 3544 people.

The influx comes as the government revealed on a contracts website on June 27 that managing Australia’s detention centres will now cost almost $2.5 billion, almost $1 billion more than expected last year…

The government announced two more boats had arrived yesterday. Arrivals have also increased this month, with 1034 coming in the first eight days of July, compared with 937 in the first eight days of June.
