Richard Marles (Corio, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Immigration and Border Protection) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. I refer the minister to the Australian Customs vessel currently carrying 153 asylum seekers and the answer that he gave yesterday about that vessel, in which he spoke of the men and women who serve as part of the Australian Navy under Border Protection Command. Can the minister please inform the House what role the Australian Navy are playing in relation to this Australian Customs vessel?
