25 asylum seekers spotted under a media blackout Asylum Seekers have been attempting to come to Australia since the Coalition won the election. SIX asylum seekers have cruised across the Torres Strait in a basic craft and another 19 intercepted off Darwin. More than 500 people have arrived on 10 boats since the Coalition won the election with the latest arrivals kept quiet under a media blackout imposed by immigration minister Scott Morrison. The six, believed to be a West Papuan family, were found on remote Boigu Island in Far North Queensland on Tuesday. They were being taken by Customs officers to immigration detention and are expected to be sent to Manus Island or Nauru. Queensland Premier Campbell Newman warned the PNG Solution, struck by Kevin Rudd and adopted by Mr Morrison, would open a new asylum route in Australia's north. Just 4km separates southern PNG and the northern most Australian island in the Torres Strait. Another vessel was intercepted off Darwin this week. The 19 asylum seekers on board were taken to Darwin to be detained. Both arrivals have come just a week after Mr Morrison imposed a blackout on the release of information about boat arrivals as part of the new government's operation sovereign borders. Mr Morrison said: "The Government provides details of SIEV arrivals as part of the OSB weekly briefing programme. The next briefing will be held early next week. Regular releases of boat arrivals under Labor have been replaced by a weekly briefing because Mr Morrison said it was crucial to the Coalition policies to stem boat arrivals. Head of the operation Lieutenant General Angus Campbell said last week people smugglers had previously lied, saying their boats had reached Australia to attract future customers.
