Good for Tony Abbott…Sending the illegal alien invaders back in style on an air-conditioned, unsinkable 90-seat lifeboat, filled with enough food and water for the trip, and accompanied by an armed escort to make sure they get there. Arrival of the first boat in Java has sent shockwaves though the illegal people-smuggler and asylum seeker networks.
The Australian THIS is what awaits asylum-seekers trying to get to Australia on dodgy wooden smuggling boats – the gift of an air-conditioned, 90-seat lifeboat, and an armed escort back to Indonesia. This is the first close-up look at one of the 11 lifeboats that the Abbott Government has sourced out of Singapore in its uncompromising fight to stop the boats – a fight that it appears to be winning.
The fully enclosed and submersible 8.5m x 3.2m survival capsule, fitted with safety belts, navigational equipment, life jackets, food, water and an inboard diesel motor, came ashore in remote Cikepuh, in West Java, on the afternoon of January 15.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott today described the pictures of the lifeboat aground in Indonesia as “rather arresting”.
Naval officer Edi Sukendi, based in Ujung Genteng, the closest point between Indonesia and Australia, got word from a forest ranger that an unusual vessel had crash-landed and disgorged an estimated 60 asylum-seekers, who immediately scattered into the jungle. Sukendi, a naval operational with no boat of his own, asked a local fishermen to take him up the coast to Cikepuh to investigate. They found the orange capsule jammed on a coral reef within wading distance of shore and approached it cautiously.
“When we first saw it, we were very surprised,” Sukendi said. “We were worried it might have explosives.” He said they found discarded food and water bottles with Malaysian markings, and first assumed it had come from there.
Prime Minister Abbott’s turn-back policy has caused intense heat at the highest diplomatic levels between Indonesia and Australia. But there is no question the policy has sent a shock through smuggler and asylum networks, already reeling from Kevin Rudd’s declaration of July last year that no one who arrived by boat would ever settle in Australia.
Cisarua, in central West Java, once the biggest catchment for Australia-bound asylum-seekers, is a shadow of what it was only seven months ago, when thousands of asylum-seekers were highly visible on the city’s streets.
From June 2012 to June 2013, there was a huge surge in the boats, when 25,793 people made it to Australia under the former government. Most of those were Sri Lankan and Iranians, who during that period came in an unprecedented rush.
Now, it is estimated there are only 20 Iranian families left in the area. Most have gone home or are scattered in detention centres across Indonesia, awaiting formal resettlement.
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison’s office said in March last year, 68 per cent of people registered with the UNHCR in Indonesia were failing to do follow up interviews and were instead “opting to attempt to enter Australia illegally by boat. By December last year, that rate had dropped to nine per cent.”
When asylum seeker boats are picked up, they are fed and photographed, then ordered into the lifeboat. If they refuse to enter the capsule, they are shoved inside and given documents stating they were not permitted to enter Australian waters.
When asked about the above report, Mr Abbott today said the government’s border protection policies were helping stop the flow of asylum seeker boats. He made reference to a prospective asylum seeker quoted in the report as saying the passage to Australia was now closed. “Well, thank you sir, the way is closed … and as far as this government is concerned never ever will it be reopened,” he told reporters in Brisbane.
News Corp heard a report from an Iranian asylum-seeker, who took the boat that sunk off Java on July 23, that his group had been escorted to the coast in 11 mini-vans by 15 plainclothes men carrying automatic rifles and pistols. The asylum-seeker said the presence of the armed escorts – whom he believed were off-duty police or military – was unprecedented in the experience of most asylum-seekers, but showed how serious the smugglers had become as the way to Australia became harder.
Way to go Australia, we are all so happy with the progress you’ve made and I hope you continue to make greater strides.
Brilliant!
Very nice. Great color and lots of room, perfect for the job. Not too keen on the air-condition and supply though, wasted resources really. Whoops, did that sound heartless ? Awwwww…. Who cares !
As an Australian , I agree with this throwing the invading shit back to where they come from .
WE WILL PROTECT OUR BORDERS , we do NOT HAVE TO LET ANYONE IN WHO WE DO NOT WANT .
Especially the shit brainless Left who drop the pants and bend over for the pleasure of these ferals .
Even higher timed to review that 1954 ‘treaty’ with the UN .
Also have the aussies considered mining the sea lanes where they come in from? BOOM! ha ha ha no more mudslims.
Good story, this!
@saintly redMOND
That’s how many Muslim economic migrants, oh I’m sorry, I mean “asylum seekers” colonize western countries. Young men are usually the first ones to arrive, and then after they’ve settled, bring their extended families and wives to live with them.
And because leftist governments are scared of being called, “racist”, they allow this. The result is entire ghettos emerging in western countries where Muslims close themselves off from the countries they’ve snuck into, enforce their own culture and laws on the community, and begin the process of spreading and growing their influence.
It’s horrible what’s happened to Europe. But what the Aussies are doing gives me hope for Western civilization, yet.
1 suggestion – drag the boat back and reuse it to throw the trash back to indonesia
again …………..and again..
why throw out the trash truck with the trash – does not make sense.
Australian friends can pass on this suggestion.
Why do no Moslem countries want these fake ‘economic refugees’? Why do they want to go to countries where EVIL, DIRTY, DEVIL-INSPIRED CHRISTIANS are in the leaders and voters? OHHHHH! Because Christian countries are fair, prosperous, generous, compassionate, forward-looking, thoughtful, reasonable and modern! And Moslem countries are????? Hmmmmmmmmmm…ah…discriminatory, failed economies and kleptocracies, impoverished, bribe-industries, backward-looking, authoritarian, closed-minded, obscurantist, misogynistic and with a Bronze Age culture.
Hey!
You leave New Zealand alone!
The can’t help it they talk funny and can’t survive without Australian charity.
They should never have been granted independence from Tasmania.
Now they have wear hi-viz shirts, even if they do not work, to drive around in Australia with a little white feather sticker on their 1990’s cars, that publicly identify them as failures in NZ who have come to sponge of Australia.
And I thought the Nazi yellow star was harsh.
Certainly Obama our muslim prez, will welcome all these “immigrants” to our shores.
Almost 100% of the Muslim immigrant-asylum seeker invaders to our countries are very fit, strong, healthy young males. One pic showed muscular Muslim invaders who looked like they had spent all their days in the gym. They are a future army who will wage cruel jihad against us in OBEDIENCE to the Quran book of war!
Qur’an:8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate
them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”
Tony Abbott is a true leader and a REAL MAN! A role model for ALL Western leaders to emulate! A man of ethics who has not sold out his nation to Islam! Abbott believes it is his moral responsibility to PROTECT his people from Islamic conquest and suffering! What a hero!
To our sorrow and outrage, British and European leaders are the complete opposite of ethical Tony Abbott! Our leaders have sold their souls to Muslim masters and colonized our nations with many millions of Muslims!
Excessively wicked British leaders have STOLEN the money and social housing that belongs to OUR people and given it away to millions of Muslim parasite immigrants they colonized our country with! Our EVIL leaders STOLE our country and gave it to global Islam!
The wicked goal of our leaders: population replacement of our people with Muslims; Muslim conquest and cruel enslavement and horrifying suffering under vile, woman-hater barbaric sharia law!
Quran (9:5) – “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush.

BOM BOM BOM……BOM BOM BOM……..BOM BOM BOM. That would be the sound of the forward mounted GPMG (general purpose machine gun) just wittling away round about the water line on the crate carrying the plague. Reckon the graphs showing numbers of boats trying it on would reeaaaaally drop off after a few sinkings.
I am glad to see this it is a shame that the USA doesn’t have the BALLS to do the same,but then look who we have for a President
Only half Sarcasm and half a heartfelt wish. Maybe after the coming election, we in America will have enough presence in Congress and the Senate to pass a special law to allow Tony Abbott to run for our president. That is, if he’ll consider taking on the mucked up mess that Obama has created.
Sorry sweetolbob he is all ours! 🙂
But we can lend you his services if need be. Anything to help our US friends from the mess that Muzzie O’Shitbag has caused.
My only fear is that Aussie lives might be lost if the “boat people” rise up against their captors and overpower them. Otherwise, good on you PM Abbot for taking the stance!
In late August of last year in the South Atlantic two mysterious ‘black hole’ whirlpools, or “maelstroms”, were spotted by satellites and observed by physicists from Zurich and Miami (appears to be a legit story):
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/satellites-glimpse-ultra-powerful-%E2%80%9Cblack-hole%E2%80%9D-whirlpools-in-atlantic-151036336.html#w3aq8R4
“The whirpools – never witnessed before – would suck down ships, debris and even living creatures.”
Hmmmm, anyway those “life boats” could be, ya know, diverted into that area? The creatures, or debris as is the case, that would be sucked down (kind of like going down a toilet), would, of course, be those “unfortunate” muslims.
Enjoy the ride.
A few weeks ago the Australian Navy apologised to the Indonesian Government for ‘accidentally’ straying into their waters while towing a boat back.
The Indonesian Government responded after a lot of blather by sending three of it’s navy ships down to it’s southern waters to ‘monitor’ the Australian Navy.
In what many see as a brilliant tactical move Abbott has succeeded in getting the Indons to start doing the job they should have been doing for the last six years, ie actually doing something to stop the illegal people smuggling trade.
If the Indonesians don’t stop boats illegally entering our waters they will be seen as either incompetent or complicit or both.
“incompetent or complicit ” ??? Why can’t they be both?
Good for Australia! At least someone is showing the correct way to deal with this problem.
If not dealt with today you have another Philippines in the making, separatist movement will start in some time.
Way to go, Abbott and hurray for the Aussies! It’s about time the rhetoric stopped and action began!
Now round up the rest and ship ’em out, too. Every last evil, rotten, stinkin’ one of them….
WRONG! The only way to stop them coming is to sink a few.
I despair of people; in thousands of years of interaction with other tribes and races we seem to have learnt NOTHING!
This nonsense with lifeboats is just that–nonsense!
In centuries gone by people rose up and annihilated their tormentors—problem solved, no more trouble! Now we treat our tormentors ‘well’ and with so called ‘human decency’, and what do we get? Endless trouble.
Sink them, and they will stop coming; and only then!!
Pete, Australians are good people. That’ll never happen. What we do must be ethical even if our enemies are not.
Per, I know–I’m from down under, but I know damned well I’m right. Your attitude is one of “turn the other cheek”, which most bloggers here would say is admirable; but which just doesn’t work any more in today’s world and certainly NOT with muslims!
Please believe me, friend, we will NEVER overcome islam with kindness and decency—any other people, yes, but by now you must realize muslims are different from all/any other people.
Totally agree with Saxon. All countries of the free world need to follow Mr. Abbott’s example.
If only we had a policy like this on our southern border.
DO YOU NOTICE that all these dicks are dicks ? Or rather , all these bits of shit are ‘male’ , and of military age ? Where are the women , you scumbags ?
These are probably part of a future army , if ever it comes to that .
Tough tittie , GOAT ROOTING IMAMS .
Praise Tony Abbot .
Yeah, part of the future Aussie Army, they way the EEO and diversity bullshit push is heading down there, and most other Western nations.
They should equip these boats with an automatic pop-out valve on the bottom that gets activated 1/2 way back. This is the only way t insure they never try again to come back.
life boat also equipped with SOLAS life vests for each passenger & breathing air, unless they take this equipment out.
Abbot and the Canadian Harper make up a good team. Two guys who are not afraid of taking action and speaking the truth.
This is one battle the ‘left’ won’t win, with their bleating and whining about human right’s abuse.
Finally some balls in the arena.
Fantastic news! Kudos to Tony Abbott. Enough is enough. Send the others who came before back in these, too. Rid the country of them.
No Muslims in Western countries. Muslims must seek asylum in Muslim countries, even when they are almost all insane asylums, because Islam made them that way.
THIS is what you get when you have a conservative PM. A patriotic leader who protects your country’s boarders, and puts the needs of the citizens FIRST. God bless Tony Abbott
Except the boats cost $500k each!
Read it an an OZ news site.
They are bought in Singapore and shipped to OZ.
They have ordered about 50, with options on a similar number, and do not expect them to be returned.
Sure they can afford it, but a half million dollar boat to send back a few dozen illegals, their designer threads, bum packs full of cash and bullion and duty-free alcohol?
Yes, this has happened.
Surely a 90 minute hop back to Jakarta in a C-17 is much cheaper.
Or just rescinding the UNCHR Accords, as we all in the West should do, entirely would be free.
Especially guilt free.
