Border Protection
In conjunction with the Australian Defence Force, Customs and Border Protection facilitates Australia’s response to the detection and rescue of Suspected Irregular Entry Vessels that smuggle people from South-East Asia into Australian waters. The agency is also responsible for the discovery and apprehension of Illegal Foreign Fishing Vessels, the patrol of remote Australian and international waters, and aerial surveillance of Australia’s coastline.

Famous quotes containing the words border and/or protection:
““Although our love is waning, let us stand
By the lone border of the lake once more,
Together in that hour of gentleness
When the poor tired child, Passion, falls asleep....””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
