If they got within 100 metres of Christmas Island, they were in Australian territory and able to claim asylum. They cannot lawfully be towed back out.

Perhaps they were just going fishing? Cheesy

A "small wooden boat carrying 12 people".

Where does it say they got 100 metres from Christmas Island?

Link please!

OP says 200 metres. Shoot me.

Xmas island is a long way from Australia, you assclowns should try google earth and see how far from Australia it is.

1 boat big deal.

The Territory of Christmas Island is a territory of Australia

How far from Indonesia is Xmas island?
How far from Australia is Xmas Island?

They made it to Xmas Island they didn't make it to Australia.

Almost all the boats during Rudd/Gillard's time went to Xmas Island. It make sense as its Australian territory and much closer to Indonesia.

So one boat slips through the blockade.

There are two possibilities: 1. The first boat that tests the blockade in over a year just happens to slip through or 2. There are are a lot more boats being stopped and turned around on the high seas than we're led to believe.

If its 2, then the libs mantra about stopping the boats is a complete joke.

Not a credible source not covered anywhere else.

12 people, normally they pack them in like sardines in a tin so this sounds like some fishermen who got lost or broke down , who were then rescued by our Navy and taken home.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.
