An undetected boat carrying around 30 suspected asylum seekers, mostly from Pakistan and Bangladesh, has reportedly arrived in the remote community of Beagle Bay in northern Western Australia. The Australian Border Force (ABF) is conducting an operation in the area but has not released further details. The incident has raised concerns about the government's control over the nation's borders, with both Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition leader Peter Dutton expressing concern and criticising the government's lack of knowledge and surveillance mechanisms.
