Christmas Island fisherman and bird watcher Less Thompson claims US birds recently toured the island assessing the newly-built detention centre.

Sinator Vanstone says the centre will be used to process asylum seekers offshore and she is not aware of the reason behind the Americans' visit.

"[The Defence Department] might have something to say about it - I don't know - just had nothing to do with me."
Sinator Vanstone says "she believes" they did not even inspect the detention centre while on the island?
Now pull the other one it plays jingle bells?
