Their 33 metre long steel vessel struck a sand bar on Thursday night before being tracked by Torres Strait Islander customs and immigration officials.
The ship was towed to Thursday Island yesterday. An Immigration spokesman, Pete Petersen said, "We know very little about them at this stage and it will take some time to find out where they have come from and what they are doing.
"They will be moved into proper accommodation on Thursday Island as soon as practicable.
"If they prove to be illegal, they will go into detention and be moved from the country as soon as we can get that in train."
Since 1989 2,719 boat people have landed illegaly in Australia. Of that number 521 have been granted permanent entry.
The local public drinking problems associated with some Aborigines could be resolved by allocating specific parks in the city of Brisbane for this purpose. This is the recommendation made in a state government report on the decriminalisation of public drunkeness... however Lord Mayor Jim Soorley doesn't like the idea and said that he would not allow public parks to be used for this purpose under any circumstances.
To those on my private email list, or have hit my web site looking for or
requesting information. Here is the most recent case that I have
been approached by several agencies to work on. I have had several
newspapers and TV shows in Australia that what me to work on this very high
profile case. There is also a $250,000 bounty on the serial killer. Right
now I am waiting for several more people (agencies) to contact me in
regards to working for their newspaper, magazine or TV show EXCLUSIVELY on
this case. To those on the list that are MEDIA. You need to send me email
ASAP in this matter, as I have several other cases that I can work on
besides this one. I want to fly down to Perth and catch this KILLER in
person!
Note the special email address for this case.
-----------------------------
How sad Channel Seven how tacky Mr Psychic - your vibes were obviously out when you sent me this email.
Oh, and if you want to check out the web site of self-proclaimed media star Riley G Psychic Detective - be my guest. Looks like he should have been one of those being exposed - not being sought... after all he claims to hang out with Uri Geller.
As quick as you please we received the following response from "Riley G" nothing psychic mind you just the old email network....
"For the record. I am not a media loving psychic as you put it. I posted
that email in response to the many media emails and inquires in the use of
my services. For the record, I have been in contact with several WA Police
personal regarding this matter. If the press wants a feeding frenzy in this
matter that's their problem and they must pay for any exclusive interviews
with me, or to work exclusively with their agency. My work for the WA
Police, as with other agencies is always for time, travel and expenses
only, and is behind the scenes.
"The only thing that really matters is finding this low life killer and
bringing him to justice for his crimes. That is the real issue at hand, not
if a psychic detective with over 18 years of experience is involved in the
case. By the way that 18 years is made up of my active involvement in the
US Military, New York City Police Department and my own business ventures."
The Thin Blue Line,
Obviously there are a lot more crims out there that Riley can target at home but if the money is good enough to tackle the great Perth mystery the master will come and solve all, as Riley says, "If the press wants a feeding frenzy in this
matter that's their problem and they must pay for any exclusive interviews
with me, or to work exclusively with their agency."
Now let us remember his email to this on-line paper was totally unsolicited....

Isn't it nice for the "psychics" out there that Channel 7 have discredited in current affairs programmes in the past that another is now secretly being approached to get "the story behind the Perth serial killer". That the media-loving psychic allegedly being approached in this case then spreads his wings with unsolicited email suggesting that the highest fee could result in an exclusive media interview covering a criminal case involving a serial killer.

Political:
Liberal backbenchers plan to put pressure on John Howard to explain how tax reform would help solve the job crisis in Australia.
Notices for a special meeting were sent out on Thursday by the Prime Minister to canvass backbench opinion on suggested tax reforms just before Howard's extended overseas trip to Britan and the USA.
Assuming that the numbers provided are correct, a rough calculation shows that you have about 368,000 Chinese immigrants out of total number of 520,700 immigrants ( over a period of 15 years, (1981 to 1995). The Chinese immigrants thus constitute about 70.28% of total number of immigrants. The 70.28 % is a correct ball-park figure. Considering all immigration numbers, the flow of immigration to Australia is unsually low. Australia Total Population at 1995 is only 16,748,900 people, very low for a country of Australia's size.
The number of immigrants ( 99% Chinese) frorm Singapore, Indonesia and Taiwan is not listed. So it would be difficult to compute the true picture.
If you consider Singapore with a population of 3.1million in 1996.. The number of total Chinese immigrants from 1967 to 1996 is 750,000. The popultaion in 1967 was just under a million in 1967. Considering the period betweemn 1981 to 1995, the number of Chinese immigrants is 375,000. Compared to Australia's 368,800 Chinese immigrants for the same period, you somewhow feel that Australia's number is far from correct.
Anyway the 70.82% Chinese immigrants make up, would be very uncomfortable for any Non-Chinese country.
Await to hear from you,
Best Regards

The new CEO is Peter Howell-Davies an executive of British telephone giant Cable and Wireless (C&W) who now hold a quarter of Optus.
It is anticipated that C&W will buy out BellSouth who hold 24.5% of Optus Communications - giving it nearly 50% of the company.
One of the parties believed to be behind the pressure which resulted in the resignations is Mayne Nickless who hold a sizeable stake in the company and who were frustrated at the slow speed at which Optus operated under Switkowski.
Havea good one.
