individual - Compliments on that link it really shows who should be offended by Indonesia knowingly letting them into there country knowing full well where they are going to Australia.

Belly,
Here's another head scratcher:
Does the Colombo (or Islamabad or Beirut) regime really possess the resources to "oppress" it's people? Once again, we can only go by our limited experiences as tourists but can any third world societies be said to be under the control of the local government?
Colombo can't even stop people from leaving the country when they feel like it, how can a case for "oppression" be made, heck if we use the standard of state interference in the lives of it's citizens then Australians are oppressed and Tamils are free .You and I both know that if we put a foot wrong, even something as simple as parking in the wrong spot, having a loud party or cutting down a tree some government Goon is going to come and harass us.
I can hear the retired teachers and social workers grinding their teeth already and growling "that's different" but to that I'd suggest that they put their money where their mouth is, in relative terms (relativism being their standard right?) Tamils are free in ways White Australians are not and the "social justice" advocates must therefore agree that they view groups of people differently based on their race or national origin.

Jay Of Melbourne - Add to yours, put on a pair of leathers and get on a motor bike in Queensland and see what happens.

post this link only to highlight my view welfare is a reason for SOME so called refugees is shared.
Too it has support not just on the right.

In the end nothing is ever free some one pays.
And I truly warn without checks and balances we could fail the truly poor.
Doubt it? look no further than the USA for such a confirmation.

Phillip S,
Indeed, but try tying a washing machine onto the back of a Honda 90 stepthrough and riding through downtown Saigon with a cigarette in one hand and a mobile phone in the other and see what happens LOL

Of course everything the retired teachers and social workers believe in is utter bollocks, it's their beloved "peaceful" Buddhists and Hindus who are (quite rightly in the context of rational thinking) taking the fight against Islamic Jihad in South Asia into their own hands and "oppressing" their Tamil neighbours.
I've often said that we "Rednecks" and Fascists see more positive, assertive behaviour in the Third World with which we identify than in what's on offer from the "progressive" White bourgeoisie.
"Progressives" are trained to only see the failures of the Right and ignore their successes, where we've succeeded in the past it's been through inter-ethnic and inter-racial collaboration.
Watch out progressives, your beloved migrants don't share your views and are easily galvanised into confronting the Liberal establishment as the French learned upon legalising Gay marriage:

Yes thats right. However they were in breach of quite a lot of
international law of the sea regarding aid to shipwrecked seamen.
They were obliged to fund his return to his country.

At sometime in the future there will be a really big uproar against
moslem immigration and I suspect that the Chinese will be in the front line.
