Sort of gives a bit of emphasis to the mexican 'wave' as they come over the hills. lol

We send out our steam powered local patrols to catch the illegal immigrant boats as they attempt to float across from indonesia.
It's sort of funny because we have issues with illegal fisherman also. Those from Indonesia .. and other countries also for that matter who come all the way from europe or Sth America or japan, etc. At best our navy can do no more than give them warning shots to make them stop so the navy can board & check them for 'various' purposes.

If a few boats were actually sanctioned to be sunk, heck that would send a strong message to both illegal immigrants & illegal fishermen. And yes, indonesian fisherman even have the cheek to come up & steal our aboriginal sacred shell fish just up the river estuaries. Only the aborigines have permission to touch such shell fish (big punishment for locals to touch them!!'.') Mind-block which ones. But highly valued in Asia. Illegal fishing from other countries is a 'big' issue here.
Asian waters are so over-fished, they come into our waters. It's not because they are starving, it's because they sell their produce to places like China for 'bonus' money.
