That is, on an individual basis, the people smuggling cartel engages in a consenting contractual arrangement terminating upon arrival at the destination.
By such a definition, human traffickers use coercive means to force people to illegally enter a country, further exploitation of the individual usually occurs once they arrive at their destination whereas as opposed to people smuggling, the act of transportation and facilitation are the primary source of profits for the criminal network.
Mandatory detention for illegal immigrants in Australia was introduced by the Keating government in 1992 following a marked increase in boat arrivals, the Howard government maintained mandatory detention policy further introducing measures discouraging boat arrivals reducing the number of people held in detention.

The simple fact is; this deplorable business is run by both national and international cartels seeking profits from trading in human misery, these criminal organisations must be targeted by law enforcement agencies smashing their business models and disrupting their activities to such a manner that they can no longer ply their reprehensible trade.
