Three days on and more questions than answers are emerging on how a rusty trawler carrying "hundreds" of people sank off the Greek coast in the deepest part of the Mediterranean Sea.
On Friday, the United Nations called for an urgent investigation into the incident as hundreds were feared missing - including 100 children onboard the vessel.
Greek officials said it recovered the dead bodies of 78 men, women and children in the immediate aftermath of the shipwreck on Wednesday. Since then, no bodies have been found.
Around 104 survivors - all men and primarily Syrian, Egyptian and Pakistani - were rescued after the incident, though as many as 500 more people are missing and feared dead.
But as Greek officials wrap up its search operation, many are asking if the Hellenic coastguard and its European partners could have done more to rescue people onboard the ship.
Sustainable Population Australia (SPA) considers
Australias population growth rate in 2022 too high and called on
the federal government to put a brake on
immigration. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)
released the latest population figures today showing Australias
population grew by nearly half a million (496,800 or 1.9%) in the
year ending 31 December 2022. The two components of growth were net
overseas migration (immigration minus emigration = NOM) at 387,000
and natural increase at 109,800.
Recently the right-wing governor of Texas, who
just happens to be named Abbott, announced that the state will
install a barrier made of buoys along a section of the Rio Grande
to deter migrants from entering the US. As is so often the
case his measures, which also included a commitment to spend $5.1b
on other border security measures, was met with howls of
indignation by immigration advocates who argued that this deprives
migrants of the right to seek asylum from
persecution. Those supporting the measure pointed
out that the river crossing was dangerous with many drowning in the
attempt and up to 30 bodies being recovered every month.
