The government is under pressure to explain how a boat of 39 asylum seekers made it onto the shores of WA. The Opposition claims the policy settings of Operation Sovereign Borders are different and doesn't have the money it needs, but the Border Force has issued another statement saying its funding is currently the highest its been since 2015.

Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil, says the operation is "better funded than it's ever been", and that the Government has invested an "additional almost half a billion dollars". However, she wouldn't be drawn on how long this group of asylum seekers would be held on Naru, telling RN Breakfast that was "a matter for Nauruan government"
