As I said, the plan is to heavily patrol the area between Indonesia and Australia with surface ships and Orion aircraft.

When these boats carrying illegals are detected leaving Indonesian ports, they will then be turned around back into Indonesian Territory as soon as they try to leave it.

IF any should get through this net, and cross International waters without being stopped, THEN they will be escorted out of Australian territory. Hopefully none will get that far?

I agree that ideally Indonesia should stop letting them in, they may do that after this scheme starts to work and they have all these illegals stuck in Indonesia?
