Report: As many as six boats carrying asylum seekers have recently attempted to reach Australian shores.

“there could be up to six boats in play”.

Senator Keneally has rejected government suggestions she’ll be soft on asylum seekers, saying the party continued to back offshore processing and boat turnbacks. “Keeping people safe but also not losing our collective national soul, not losing our collective national conscience,” she told ABC radio’s AM program today.

He accused her of being opposed to the government’s Operation Sovereign Borders, saying Labor was “soft” on border protection.“Peter Dutton only has one setting and that’s attack,” she said.Labor leader Anthony Albanese said a record number of people had applied for protection visas under Mr Dutton’s tenure.
