FAR North Queensland MP Bob Katter has called on the Federal Government to come clean over the reported interception of a people smuggling vessel at Pennefather Beach, near Weipa this week.
Mr Katter says there have been reports of boat arrivals happening all across northern Australia, including foreign fishing boat crews camping up rivers and on remote islands.
The ABC reports a federal government source as saying a number of foreign nationals who reached Cape York illegally by boat this week have been removed from Australia.
“It won’t reveal how many people were on board, nor which country they are from,” the ABC reported.
However a 34-year-old Taiwanese man, Chien-Wen Peng, was charged over an alleged people smuggling plot and appeared in the Cairns Magistrates Court on Thursday. He was charged with an aggravated offence of people smuggling involving more than five people.
When the offence was explained to Mr Peng, he replied through a Mandarin interpreter, “I don’t know anything about smuggling any humans”.
Katter, whose electorate of Kennedy borders a lengthy section of coast on the Gulf of Carpentaria, says people who live in the Far North are being kept in the dark over the incident.
“The lack of openness is a huge slap in the face to locals who live near these ocean borders and we need answers, not silence,” Mr Katter said.
In a parliamentary question in writing, tabled on Thursday, Mr Katter asked for confirmation and further details, including the number of people on the boat, their current location, if the passengers are Chinese nationals and what is the threat level posed to Australians living in FNQ.
“Taxpayers pay for a national security network. Yet, when a boat arrives near our towns, the government refuses to give the public the facts. The silence proves the government is asleep at the wheel and we demand immediate answers,” he said.
“And these boat arrivals, reported to be happening all across northern Australia, are just the ones we know of, let alone all the foreign fishing boats continuously camping up our rivers and on remote islands.
“But who can blame them when we won’t fish our own waters, having one of the smallest commercial catches in the world, while they’re going to bed hungry every night?
“Of course, a people without land or resources will look for a land of resources without people, and with our exposed northern coastline unprotected and barely inhabited, we’re just asking for it,” Mr Katter said.
The Home Affairs Minister was also asked if government had contacted the Chinese Government to discuss the issue.
If his questions have not been answered by the minister within 30 days, Mr Katter said he will be personally following the issue up.
This keeps getting intercepted but let’s not give up.

A few Chinese sleepers cannot be discussed because of ALP policy of gun removal !?! I presume, the goon squads one in each state going about removing firearms one household at a time, we only hear about it when the shooting starts. Meanwhile the Spanish are totally pissed off about Trumpty Dumpty’s unprovoked Persian attacks. Intel = so what. The Spanish may feel it’s time to have California back, along with Nevada, Utah, AZ, NM, southern Texas. Presumably, to this end Mexico has invited China and Russia in, and Cuba signing on, goodness gracious me, I hope that big beautiful wall can hold them back. Australia’s navy is stationed at San Diego, we hear the latest prediction from the latest oracle is California is about to cop”the big one”, not sure what Queensland’s contingency plan is but you can bet your boots the politicians have one. This brinkmanship is all getting so awkward. Gold tipped to go up up up. MIC shares probably quicker. Bloody Swissy and their crooked Global “financial system” is to blame for everything. Nuke Swissyland first and maybe we can all have our lives back.
How is it that Chien-Weng Pen cannot understand our language in Court but he had no worries communicating with shop staff in Weipa ?
Rope : When was white last seen to be supreme in Australia since we became multicultural ?
Rope: When Jindalee was first spruiked to us all by some Xspurt in the government he told us that Jindalee will track any vessel entering Australian waters and that included wooden boats ;that is a bit of a giggle seeing NT Fisheries when run by a bloke named Grey told me they had trouble finding Indonesian fishing boats off the north west shelf when they were looking for them to check their catch .
My wildest guess as to why they landed near Weipa and not further north near Bamaga is so they didn’t have to pay to go across the Jardine River on the very expensive ferry .
Jindalee will be obsolete when we connect Musk’s Starlink satellites to Gina’s Israeli AI drones, take out some leaky boats and the occasional Australian pleb, throw some children overboard, AUKUS and Albo float thirty thousand lost souls in the South China Sea, then Gina, her successor, can net a neglected market sector, invest in feel good property development and everything will be hunky dory.
Neville: JORN only works on aircraft and large vessels. Wooden fishing vessels without any radar reflectors can infiltrate Australian waters, and cannot be detected in rougher sea states.
Illegal immigration is necessary to challenge the status quo and abolish white supremacy. Don’t like it? Vote with rope.

Fish can breed up fast because they lay so many eggs, what they need is habitat and the government is very good at destroying it through neglect and wrong priorities, easy for them as they are famously incompetent. Look at our housing minister and shadow housing minister, both from Klaus Swab’s YGL college, both of them controlled and utterly useless, Swab called them infiltrators.
As for Border Force Inc formerly known as HM Customs, plus the Quarantine Service, is the reason why we don’t need the WHO with their never ending stream of bullshit poxes. You can look up “who.int” and see they have at least one new pox “outbreak” every week. We don’t need Swissy’s advertising or the billion dollar invoice. A pox on you Swissy with all your lies.
JINDALEE over the horizon radar is supposed to be able to track any vessel entering Australian waters .
