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:
“I have, indeed, even omitted facts, which, on account of their singularity, must in the eyes of some have appeared to border on the marvelous. But in the forests of South America such extraordinary realities are to be found, that there is assuredly no need to have recourse to fiction or the least exaggeration.”
—J.G. (John Gabriel)
“We’re for statehood. We want statehood because statehood means the protection of our farms and our fences; and it means schools for our children; and it means progress for the future.”
—Willis Goldbeck (1900–1979)
