Prime Minister Tony Abbott has fired a verbal warning to Jakarta that Australia is not happy over a standoff in which a boatload of asylum seekers landed on Australian territory, despite being rescued in the Indonesian search-and-rescue zone.

It came as two more boats were reported to have been intercepted by Australian border protection authorities, although the government has not confirmed that.

In what appeared to be a calculated measure to remind Indonesia of the new Australian government's resolve to stop the boats, Mr Abbott used a weekly radio appearance in Sydney to make plain Australia's view of who was at fault over the Indonesian refusal to accept the asylum seekers.
