Four foreign nationals, suspected of being asylum seekers, were found on Croker Island in the Northern Territory after arriving via an illegal fishing boat. The dehydrated men were assisted by local Aboriginal rangers and reported having paid for their passage to Australia. Following their discovery, they were taken into custody by Northern Territory police and are no longer in Australia, although the exact details of their removal remain unclear. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke emphasized that under the Albanese government, no people smuggling ventures have been successful, while opposition leaders criticized the government for perceived weaknesses in border security. The Northern Land Council has called for better resources to combat the rising threat of illegal fishing in the region, which poses risks to local communities and the environment. This incident highlights ongoing concerns about border security and illegal immigration in Australia.
