This FOI disclosure contains internal communications from the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service's Counter People Smuggling Task Force between May and June 2013 regarding a strategic communications campaign targeting rural and illiterate audiences in Afghanistan. The 16-page storyboard campaign depicted the journey of persons of interest (PII) traveling by boat to Australia across four phases. Phase 3, which required approval, specifically showed boat interception, initial processing, and preparation for offshore processing transfer, including imagery of Australian Naval officers in frames 4-9. Communications indicate tight production timeframes, with printing and binding requiring approximately one week and distribution taking two weeks, with completion targeted for end of June 2013 under contract obligations. The campaign appears designed to deter people smuggling by depicting the process and consequences of attempting maritime journey to Australia.
