The ABC understands the group of men, women and children is being taken to the Cocos Islands, and from there will be flown to the Curtin detention centre in WA. Immigration Minister Scott Morrison, who has just returned from India, says any of the asylum seekers found to be Indian citizens or residents will likely be returned to India. Asked of the fate of asylum seekers who do not fall into that group, Mr Morrison said the matter is "yet to be determined". "They won't remain in Australia. They will not be resettled in Australia," he said.
