Fed: Australia is neglecting its border with PNG

A report says people smuggling is rife in the Torres Strait .. because Australia is
neglecting its border with Papua New Guinea.

It also says law enforcement officials in the area are corrupt.

A Papua New Guinea intelligence service officer told ABC's Lateline last night .. both
Australia and Indonesia are neglecting their borders with his country.

He says it's allowing people to be smuggled to the Australian mainland.
