SIEV stands for "Suspected '''Irregular''' Entry Vessel" why change the page title to the more politically biased "Suspected '''Illegal''' Entry Vessel"? It is not illegal until proven - that's why irregular was probably chosen. [[User:Tiddy|Tiddy]] ([[User talk:Tiddy|talk]]) 08:37, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

The use of the word "Illegal" rather than "Irregular" was correct until around late 2009 or early 2010 when the term was changed. The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service Annual Report 2010-11 (in the definitions section on page 332) defines SIEV as "Suspected Irregular Entry Vessel". The 2009-10 Annual Report carries the same definition. The 2008-09 Annual Report defines SIEV as "Suspect Irregular Entrant Vehicle" although that and the current definition are both used in the text of the report. The 2007-08 Annual Report defines SIEV as "Suspect Illegal Entry Vessel" I suggest the heading be chnaged as suggested by Tiddy above with a reference to the former expression [[User:Dobryen|Dobryen]] ([[User talk:Dobryen|talk]]) 04:32, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

SIEV stands for "Suspected Irregular Entry Vessel" why change the page title to the more politically biased "Suspected Illegal Entry Vessel"? It is not illegal until proven - that's why irregular was probably chosen. Tiddy (talk) 08:37, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
