The Tamils could return to whence they came to the
Tamil community just a short trip away in India.

Why do they shun that safe option to come to Australia instead.
They are simply using the events in sri Lanka to try for
economic betterment.

Can't blame them for trying it on but they do not have to come
to Australia, when they have a safe haven, being the Tamil community in India.

People are always talking about the lessons of history but it seems
to me a lot of people have only a surface knowledge of the war
in Sri Lanka and Tamil history.

don't insult our intelligence
SteeleRedux,
No-one's doing that however, many here are wondering if you have any at all because you're not displaying any.

Scott Morrison astounds me, as a self professed Christian he fails to exhibit such Christian qualities when it comes to his portfolio of Immigration Minister. The High Court, commendably has stepped in, at least temporally, to prevent this secretive government from acting unilaterally against people who's refugee status should be determined correctly under both Australian and International law.

Paul,

Quick question:where did the current boat come from?

Do you even know?

INDIA - they had been living SAFELY in INDIA - what a joke!

SPUD, I thought they set sail from Luxemburg yesterday, not Southern India 3 weeks ago. I'll just have to bow to that superior SPUD intellect of your's. I bet you look rather dapper in your snappy black uniform.

<<SPUD, I thought they set sail from Luxemburg yesterday>>

Yep. I would not be at all surprised if Christine told you in the Greens briefing

And I'll bet Adam told you Luxemburg was an province of Sri Lanka!
