    Latest asylum seeker boat intercepted northwest of Christmas Island

    From: AAP October 24, 2010 8:57PM



    AUTHORITIES have intercepted a boat carrying 62 suspected asylum seekers and two crew northwest of Christmas Island.

    HMAS Pirie, operating under the control of Border Protection Command, intercepted the vessel on Sunday afternoon, Home Affairs Minister Brendan O'Connor said in a statement.

    Those onboard have been taken to Christmas Island for security, identity and health checks. END

    And, they will keep on coming for as long as Labor shows no leadership on the issue.

    cheers.
