At least 22 migrants, including young children, were killed when their refugee boat sank in waters off the Indonesian coast on Friday (September 27). Twenty-eight people have been rescued, but more than 30 remain missing, with local media saying the death toll could rise to as high as 70.

Reuters reports, "The latest disaster to strike refugees using Indonesia's southern coast to try to reach Australia will cast a shadow over a visit to Jakarta on Monday by Australia's new conservative prime minister Tony Abbott, whose tough stance on immigration was at the heart of his election campaign. — Reuters
