1. Immigration Minister Scott Morrison has responded to questions after more than 50 asylum seekers drowned en route to Australia. This comes after survivors reported that the Australian Navy knew the location of the vessel 24 hours before they sent help.
Mr Morrison told the media that Australia was initially in charge of the asylum seeker vessel, but Indonesia has since taken over. Mr Morrison also said that, “Australian Government officials in Jakarta are seeking additional information from their Indonesian counterparts, including seeking to confirm where the vessel foundered. It is believed to have gone down in Indonesian territory.”
This morning Prime Minister Tony Abbott attended the AFL Grand final breakfast, where he avoided questions about the asylum seeker tragedy.
