The Sri Lankan Government is really just a criminal regime. Nothing that they do surprises me. I cant blame any Tamil for wanting to get as far away from them as possible. But, it does surprise me that we are not more critical of "intelligence" from the Sri Lankan Govt. The fact that they sent a war criminal here as a High Commissioner shows just how much contempt the Sri Lankan Government has for Australia.

Indeed a little bit of compassion wouldn't go astray - after all we’ve boundless plains to share, but has Mr. Santhiyoku showed the same compassion to the prawns?

The Tamil Tigers were Marxist-Leninist, like all the other front groups of that era (IRA,RAF,ETA,ANC,SLA,PCP-SL,PLO etc) and Leftists generally they are nothing more than gangsters, thugs and killers.
If more normal people knew about the ever present connection between the "Left" and organised crime there'd be zero tolerance of Marxism in the community. They need to be regarded as pariahs just like "one per center" MC's, impossible to get rid of but shunned by decent people.

Do some reading on the Tamil crime gangs in Canada and their Red apologists.
Communists always condone or excuse criminal activity,especially ethnic or race based gangs, why?
Because they're criminal gangsters themselves.

There's another historical factor at play here, free settlers and ethnic white Australians have always rejected the idea of prisoners being imposed (dumped) on normal society.
There was a huge outcry in the 1840's and '50's over the reintroduction of transportation, there was talk of revolution from the likes of John Dunmore Lang and his followers.
Both the process of transportation and it's subjects, the "flotsam and jetsam" of British society were the targets of those activists
Read up the era, the sentiments echo down to this day, we don't want prisoners injected into society as a special class of citizen with limited rights, real Australians hate the idea, it's an attack on the morals of our society and runs counter to any notion of egalitarianism or the much touted "fair go".
Get rid of the Asylum Seeker prisons, reject the re-introduction of TPV's or third party processing and turn back the "Flotsam and Jetsam" of Asia and the Middle East.

Silence at the Guantanamo Bay like treatment of Denisan Santliyoku speaks a lot for ‘Democratic’ Australia
