FED: Channel of asylum seekers to Indonesia effectively blocked
The main people smugglers channelling asylum seekers into Indonesia for the journeyto Australia have reportedly been effectively shut down.
The Weekend Australian says international co-operation, safety fears and the deterrenteffect of Australia's Pacific Solution have put three of the six main people smugglersout of business.
The paper quotes RICHARD DANZIGER of the International Office of Migration in Jakartaas saying the smugglers are keeping a pretty low profile.
The paper says Australian authorities are convinced the flow of asylum seekers fromIraq and Afghanistan has been all but halted.
The report also says Australia will almost certainly have to extend further its financialaid to Nauru and Papua New Guinea, where asylum seekers are being detained.
