A boat carrying an estimated 164 asylum seekers has been intercepted by Australian authorities.
HMAS Glenelg intercepted the vessel north-west of Christmas Island today.
“Initial indications suggest there are 164 passengers and six crew on board,” Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare said in a statement.
The passengers will now be transferred to Christmas Island for security, health and identity checks.
