News Flash from offshore from Broome , Western Australia ----
The Australian Navy intercepted three boatloads of people off the north west coast of Australia today.
This placed the Navy in an awkward position, as the boats were not heading to, but away from Australia towards Christmas Island .
Another surprise finding was that they were loaded with Australians who were all seniors of pension age.
Their claim was that they were trying to get to Christmas Island so as to be able to return to Australia as illegal immigrants and therefore be entitled to far more benefits than they were receiving as legitimate Australian pensioners.
The Navy, it is believed, gave them food, water and fuel and assisted them on their journey.
We are booking the next boat out, let me know if you want to come. After all, you do like Cruises don't you
