Tony Abbott has deployed the Navy to force back boats carrying illegal economic asylum seekers from Indonesian waters for the first time, leaving the boats to run aground on a remote island.
UK Telegraph (h/t Maria J) Indonesian sources said two boats carrying groups of about 45 Middle Eastern and North African asylum seekers were “pushed” back into Indonesian territory by the Australian navy.
Mr Abbott, elected last year after running on a hard-line pledge to “stop the boats”, would not confirm the incidents. The move could further strain relations with Indonesia, which have been damaged in recent weeks by revelations that Australian spies targeted Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the Indonesian president, and his wife.
Following the revelations, Indonesia said it would stop cooperating with Australia in stemming the flow of asylum seekers. (Good, keep them in Indonesia, a MUSLIM country)
In the past six years, more than 50,000 have attempted the perilous voyage in rickety boats from Indonesian transit camps to Australian waters; more than 1,000 are believed to have drowned. Indonesia’s foreign minister, Marty Natalegawa, said Jakarta firmly rejected any policies “that resemble the pushing back the boat”. “Such policy is not actually conducive to a comprehensive solution to the issue,” he said.
Australia’s immigration minister, Scott Morrison, said he could not comment because of “operational security reasons”.
International law experts have tended to give mixed views on whether it is lawful to turn back a boatload of asylum seekers to another nation’s waters. Mr Morrison stipulated that the Australian navy had not “violated Indonesian territorial sovereignty”.
An Indonesian police chief on Rote Island, Indonesia’s southernmost point, said two boats had arrived in recent weeks after being pushed back by Australian navy vessels. The first boat, carrying passengers originally from Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea and Iran, was intercepted on December 13 by the Australian navy and “pushed” back to the island on December 19. A second boat, carrying mostly Africans, landed on the island on Monday.
The use of the Navy to turn back boats has come under heavy criticism in Australia, with opponents saying such operations are dangerous and can lead to boats sinking. (And that’s a BAD thing, because?)
Sarah Hanson-Young, a Greens MP, said Mr Abbott was acting with “sheer arrogance” and endangering the lives of both Navy personnel and refugees from war-torn countries. (So, Navy personnel are endangered by Muslim so-called refugees? Where does that leave the average Australian who is unarmed?)
“These are refugees who’ve fled places like Sudan, Eritrea, Iran, Syria – these are war-torn areas – and then just to leave them in the ocean rather than offering them a way of having their claims assessed and to deal with their needs as refugees is just callous,” she told ABC News. (Send them to Saudi Arabia or the other rich Arab MUSLIM Gulf states) “These people could have drowned. How many other boats has this occurred to that we’ve never heard about?” (Maybe that’s the idea?)
Labor last year warned that turning back boats could lead to conflict with Indonesia, a country which at times has had frosty relations with Australia. Dr Michael White, a former Australian navy lieutenant-commander, said last year that the boats carrying asylum seekers are mostly unseaworthy fishing vessels and “don’t tow very well.”
“A willy-nilly policy of turning back the boats is totally unfair on our Naval forces, on our customs sea-going forces and on our Australian federal police forces who are called in to go sea,” Dr White, now at Queensland University, told SBS News. “It is a dangerous and difficult job to board another vessel at sea.” (The Navy’s job is to protect Australians from foreign invaders, which these boat people are)
The Abbott government has taken a tough stance towards asylum seekers including detaining all arrivals by boat in detention centres on remote Pacific islands.
Following claims that authorities at the detention centres have restricted access to sanitary products, bleeding heart leftist protesters have urged people to send tampons to the immigration minister, Mr Morrison. “Our demand is simple – stop the ritual humiliation of women,” said the website Mama Mia. Mr Morrison has denied the claims.

The Indonesians are not very nice most of the time . They have about 200 million people , yet suck up Foreign Aid from Australia . Anyone’s guess how much . They even said that it is in Australia’s interest to pay .
At the East Timor thing in 1999 , thank goodness there was a good US base up North . Things were very tense at the time . The US presence is very welcome in my opinion .
There ARE simpler means……
This would be a great way to get Great White Sharks used to halal diet.
To SURVIVE this WAR the West MUST STOP Muslim immigration and REVERSE it!!
There must be NO More Mosques or Muslim Schools…PERIOD!
This is a 24hr surveillance society so ALL existing Mosques and Muslim schools must be monitored and subjected to frequent unannounced checks!!
Offend Muslim sensitivity? Piss off, THEY offend ALL HUMANITY with their NAZI Supremacist Agenda!
It’s TIME to STAND-UP and be COUNTED!
There will be a a big increase in muslim babies in 2014 in Australia.
I have just one question: can we trade Obama for Abbott?
Our Australian friends have suffered for a long time under Obama clones. Let them enjoy their victory.
Thanks BNI,
Most of us are keen to keep Abbott. And to hell with Indonesia! Muzzies want control of our Country and finally some Aussies are fighting to stop the invasion.
Allan, from what I’ve seen, he is getting criticized by some conservatives already for not doing enough on a number of issues. It’s just like here. The fact that he is tackling this very volatile issue right out of the box says a lot about him. I’m impressed.
Find out who the Captain and crew of any “ship” detained is and imprison them for twenty years.
LK, then you have to feed them
Screw that shit!
Prison means housing and housing now means “accommodation”. Shoot the bastard, sink the boat, feed the poor and starving sharks, and be done with it!
FINALLY , I’VE SAID this before THIS IS the BEST WAYTO GO ABOUT KEEPING OUT THE ISLAMIC INVASION (economic refugees is Just Plain B.S)
If they were economic refugees why don’t they just go to their neighboring
Islamic oil rich states ?
Indonesia has been deliberately allowing these Islamic Invaders to land in jakarta
and then get on these boats in Indonesia waters. They Must have the support
of OIC to Islamise Australia , just like they are doing to other societies.
Its Hilarious to hear Indonesia complain about “push back of boats” policy
bcoz they know Australia is blowing their game apart.,
As for the Greens , Labor , deport them to Islamic Hell holes for period of 3 years
to experience Islamic society…if they apologise and swear that they will
not support Islamic Invaders …only then take them back ……or let them stay out of Australia for Good.
I like that idea! Let’s send ALL Western Leftists to those Islamic hellholes.
My only suggestion would be to not let a good opportunity go to waste. Being a military sort of guy, I would advise instead of the Royal Australian Navy turning these muslim garbage scows, laden with islamopithecine refuge (not refugees) back, why not work on the Navy’s gunnery table training instead?
It would also benefit Dawn’s “Save the Sharks” campaign, by providing a nutrition-rich habitat for endangered sharks, which incidentally, could be used as a selling point to the Greenies.
Uh, never mind that last one, not with smelly, Greenie, douchebags like Sarah Hanson-Dung in Parliament. 🙁
Well done Tony Abbott!
To HELL with what Indonesia says! These scumbags are *invaders* and Australia can *do what it likes* with them! Australia has EVERY RIGHT to protect its borders.
To hell with the UN and bleeding-heart lefties as well.
I am stunned,… truly stunned,….
A politician who did something right?
Was he having an off day?
I hope this stands and can be built on.
Aussie.
bleh, bleeding heart sarah hanson young, dont see her offering to have these parasites at her joint, just making the rest of us support them and put up with their crap
Great Tony ???? – BUT everything in Perspective ….
A few boats is ONLY the START ….
• What about ALL the rest of the muslim-VERMIN in Australia ????
• What about the CRIMINAL HALAL Certification RORT supported by the Australian Government’s “Authorised” Halal Program.
• The Australian Government has an “Authorised Halal Program” – (WHAT YOU SAY !!!! – SURPRISED – I know I was initially – then just angry) – and “SUPPOSEDLY” it is only for EXPORT and for local muslim consumption !!!!
• THIS IS A REAL (NOT) JOKE – non-muslim Australian citizens would NOT be laughing – however the muslim will KILL themselves laughing (AGAIN) at the STUPID Australian Government.
• Have you tried to buy NON-Halal Certified products (from any Supermarket in Australia – eg. Woolies/Coles/Aldi) – NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE – MANY PRODUCTS ARE NOT IDENTIFIED AS HALAL CERTIFIED.
• This goes against the guidelines of the [sick] the Australian Governments “Authorised” Halal Program.
– for more info on shopping in Australia with Halal Certified product AND a listing of all Australian Based Manufacturers with an active Jihad against non-muslim Australians – follow the link.
http://www.halalchoices.com.au/index.html
– AND HERE FOR the exposed Cadbury Jihad against Australians – TRUTH – posted by Bonni –
http://www.barenakedislam.com/2013/12/13/joy-to-the-muslim-world-cadbury-expands-its-line-of-halal-islam-approved-certified-products-now-for-the-christmas-holidays-too/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=joy-to-the-muslim-world-cadbury-expands-its-line-of-halal-islam-approved-certified-products-now-for-the-christmas-holidays-too
• The Australian Governments “Authorised” Halal Program (ON PURPOSE ????) imposes an absolutely unnecessary cost in the MILLIONS_OF_DOLLARS range for non-muslim Australians.
• Halal Certification is an Arab-Thug (Islam) Political DEMAND using a “Religious Tax” to fund jihad.
• Muslim meat workers are risking non-muslim Australian’s health with VERY unsafe food processing AND EXTREME AND UNNECESSARY CRUELTY TO THE ANIMALS muslim “PROCESS”.
• Halal is NOT necessary (even to muslims) – it is Political DEMAND by Islam – it is NOT “Religous”.
• Halal is NOT necessary (even to muslims) – It is ONLY a requirement for muslim in an Islamic Country.
• Food can be made “Halal” [sick – again] for a muslim by the muslim offering the Islam sanction “Official Prayer” over the food.
• Therefore Halal Certified food is a POLITICAL DEMAND by Islam – NOT A “Religious” requirement.
NOW THE BETTER STUFF
If ANY muslim exist in ANY Western Democratic country ….
• Your Politicians ARE either non-muslim-assisters OR muslim.
• These Politicians to be removed from office.
• These Politicians to be jailed for Treason/Sedition (FULL 25 Year Terms).
• FULLY_PROVEN_NON_MUSLIM Politicians only are to hold Office.
• All muslim to be deported (Forceably if they resist) to the Arabian Peninsular.
• All muslim to be enforced to remain in the Arabian Peninsular.
• The “Island of the Arabs”, “The Kingdom”, Without the associated Islands (these used as sentry points) has a total area of around 1,200,000 square miles (3,100,000 square kilometres).

This is wonderful news, enough pandering to these savages whims! How about we look after our own citizens in need before importing welfare parasites who hate us and our ways?
Long Live Australia!
Yesterday on AUSTRALIA 7 NEWS :
‘Boat turnback’ set to inflame tensions
Excellent, will post the video.
I have herded that gurlzz need sumfink to “give all their love to” , well hhhmmmm!!
Mizzz Hanson Young must have missed out on having a puppy when she was little . The dribble that comes out of the dear lady , do we get her a box of tissues or a little puppy ? Greenies may have brain damage from hugging all those trees , I only hug gum trees and similar smooth barked trees . Just check out the Greenie politician line-up . I am not saying they are crazy because I am not worth sueing .
Indonesia’s polticians are ————- you know
Soon very soon, when I say we have had enough we have! THE Bastards who have been running our country into the ground while we slave to pay their wages are being noticed by their almost blind followers,ha ha! WHEN THE SHIT FOR BRAINS michael Moore starts whining then you know the rest aren’t far behind! I can assure you that in my part of this country we will fight them till the end and win this time! Obummer will never be able to finnish what he started and Hillary ain’t Bill so she will never get a chance to finish the job. We all know what they are trying to do now thanks to websites like this one! DEATH TO ISLAM LONG LIVE FREEDOM/GUNS FOR EVERY LEGAL AMERICAN!
Shoot, if this keeps up, it just might be safe for me to actually get to go husband hunting in Oz one day. I mean… visit Australia. Visit. Hehehehe
HEY sweetie WildChild , If you are RICH and beautiful , I am free . Please send photo of bank balance . (well , not free, but not very expensive either)
Hahaha! Ah, c’mon now, that makes it too easy for me. I gotta have some fun on the hunt! =)
What a refreshing story – AUS PM Abbott is turning back the Muslim “scrounger express”. This is a major win for the indigenous Australians. Long live and rule T. Abbott! (Think we could import him to England?)
Maybe the Indonesian authorities should ask themselves why people are fleeing Indonesia and looking for asylum in the first place? Because the country’s an Islamic hellhole?
And who wants a bunch of slobs who created an Islamic hellhole to wash up on their shores? Let them in ONLY if they renounce Islam. THEN they will be real refugees. Otherwise, forget it.
Good On Ya, Tony Abbott~! Keep up the good work~!
GOOD! the last PM WANTED to ship some of this trash to my country. taalk about encouareing them to come.
good for Australia will the face condemnation by the UN for protecting themselves?
This is abuse to sharks. Sharks are being denied muslime bodies to feed upon. By now sharks have developed a “taste” for muslimes. This has to be an acquired taste as I don’t know of any other sea creature that would eat muslimes. Sharks aren’t particularly fussy when it comes to a food source. Sharks are performing a service by keeping the oceans clean of rotting muslime bodies that polute the water. Please allow the continuation of boat people all over the world in rickety boats so the muslimes drown and the sharks have food. Those that reach land (muslimes not sharks) can easily be shot and dumped in the ocean. STOP THE ABUSE OF SHARKS!!!!
Dawn, LOL!
Hehehehehehehehe!!!!
Well done Tony Abbott. It is about time that this pushing the boats back to where they came from and it is important that the rest of the would be illegal muslims hear that it is now a waste of time to try to get on the welfare roles in Australia.
Good for Australia! About time they got their shit together and did the RIGHT THING! Now for the rest…..
Woo Hoo send the filthy bastards back. Don’t feel a bit of pitty for the mother hatin pieces of shit! Hope they don’t get bleedin heart democrats trying to figure out how to get them here! You were right BNA(Bonnie) I totally hate every stinking one of these filthy bastards! Don’t even get me started on the ignorant women attached to them. There is not one Muslim on the face of the earth that deserves pity, not one! After seeing what they do in our free society and what they are trying to do, I do not blame Australia for turning them back or laughingt much if they sink! That much less trash to have to pack out later!
Teri, hopefully everyone will feel that way soon.
Young women and mothers of young women in Australia (the smart ones) must be overjoyed with this good news,
Here in America we had foolish female state legislators that helped defeat anti-sharia bills or veto override bills. It does not make sense for women to push for VAWA and tough rape/DV laws and then facilitate the Islamic abuse of women and girls.
What the bleeding hearts fail to recognise is that by deterence less will try it on and therefore less will drown.
That’s the way to frame it then see the argument flow.
Use their tactics and watch them tie themselves in knots.
Seemingly nothing else will work.
LMFAO sink the fucking ships,let the rodents die
Agus Barnas, spokesman for Indonesia’s Coordinating Ministry for Politics, Law and Security, said he was unaware of any turnbacks, but he said: ‘‘If the Australian navy reject that boat, basically it’s their right

Glad to hear that Aussie.
Most of the IMMIGRANT refugees I have seen are exactly young , strong and military aged; why would anyone think ; considering their aggressive behavior and quranic beliefs that they are anything but a threat to the future of Australia… I believe they are being SENT to Aus. by the will of islam… for its stated purposes.
That’s why I always call them invaders.
Close contact or boarding is not required. Simply let them know that they will be sprayed with water “Scented” heavily with Bacon grease….
Logical question time!
Why do Moslems NEVER try to break into dysfunctional SHARIA countries?
Why do Moslems ALWAYS flee from dysfunctional SHARIA countries?
Why do Moslems ALWAYS flee to PLURALISTIC, FREE WESTERN COUNTRIES?
Why do Moslems ALWAYS try to change the countries they flee to because of their PLURALISM and FREEDOM, so in order to make them DYSFUNCTIONAL like the Sharia countries they fled from?
Why should free countries receive LARGE NUMBERS of inbred, supremacist misogynists who wish to DESTROY freedom, equality, democracy and pluralism?
Good analogies can be drawn from physics, particularly the laws of thermodynamics.
Consider a climate controlled room in a NON-climate controlled building having it’s doors opened. The temperature and humidity of the room will become the same as the rest of the building.
The same principles of thermodynamics also apply to non-physics scenarios. Rest assured that children will open a second bag of the same variety of cookies as an unfinished bag. A cat will not choose a litter box with only one small turd instead of the one just cleaned.
A more serious comparison would be socialist re-distribution of wealth. Defilement of our women by these invaders is another.
Perceptor, I am sure you are aware of the points I made but it is good that you offered those thought provoking questions. My response is not directed at you.
Perc., because our leaders are not merely naïve, but terminally stupid, (possible exception: Tony Abbott) even this country (Canada) has a conservative PM, Stephen Harper, who is eminently aware of the threat of islam, and yet Canada takes more muslim rabble than any other country.
Fascinating to think isn’t it, that bloggers here on BNI are far more informed about islam and it’s distressing idiosyncrasies than Brit. PM Cameron, for example.
GREAT. Happy for the Aussies. Let’s hope this excellent news travels all the way to muslim lands.
Good for him. That lady minister was way too soft on these people. God Tony Abbot, may he prevail.
Woo-Hoo!! What a novel idea: turning back the FILTHY spread of Islamic trash. If only the U.S. could turn back the Muslim in the White House…..
