Question No. 47
Senator Cash asked the following question at the hearing on 16 October 2012:
1. Can you provide a breakdown of the number of SIEVs and IMAs by province of embarkation in
Indonesia for 2011/12, 2010/11 and 2009/10?
2. Can you provide a breakdown of the number of SIEVs and IMAs by province of embarkation in
Sri Lanka for 2011/12, 2010/11 and 2009/10?
The answer to the honourable senator’s question is as follows:
Customs and Border Protection often receives information about maritime people smuggling
venture embarkation locations from a range of sources, including irregular maritime arrivals during
immigration processing. This information has at times proven accurate and other times it has not.
The following information contains possible provinces used for departures by suspected irregular
entry vessels that arrived from Indonesia and Sri Lanka during the financial years 2009/10, 2010/11
and 2011/12. The below information refers to province or location of embarkation where that
information has been collected; otherwise an assessed region of location.
