I received this email this morning from the Immigration Minister:
Dear Liana,
Today Australia reached a significant milestone, marking six months since the last successful people smuggling operation.
Operation Sovereign Borders is working. The boats are stopping and this is saving lives.
Stopping the boats is saving the Budget $2.5 billion over the next four years – around $50 million a month.
We need your help to share the message that Australia’s borders are secure again.
If you are on Facebook, click here and share our message.
Under Labor’s watch, 190 boats arrived in the equivalent six month period last year.
Combating the work of people smugglers is an ongoing effort. The Government will remain vigilant in ensuring that our borders remain strong.
Help us let all Australians know that we are honouring our commitment to build a safe and secure Australia.
Regards,
Scott Morrison
Minister for Immigration and Border Protection
