A recent operation by the Australian Border Force and Malaysian coast guard has hit out at people smugglers ‘monitoring’ Australian activity. 

Operation Redback XV was part of regular activity with Malaysia to continue safeguarding borders, Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews told Spencer Howson.

“These people smugglers actually do keep monitoring what is happening here in Australia and they will do all that they can to try and continue their trade.

“We need to make sure we remain vigilant.”
