The asylum seekers were detained by Indonesian police and have been
anchored in the waters of Tanjung Pinang since Saturday. Passengers on
board the ship have been photographed holding signs reading “We like to
go to New Zealand”, “Our future life is in New Zealand” and “We need New
Zealand”.
PM said that he was aware of the asylum seekers’ situation, but that
New Zealand would not be helping.
“I understand that some of those asylum seekers are holding flags or
signs that say they might want to come to New Zealand, and our very
simple message to them is they are not welcome”.
