most boaties were not tamils, page-29

that the majority were found to be Sinhalese, not Tamils - is yet another example of people lying to get themselves in here.
And confirms exactly what MY own Sinhalese (long been Aussie) in-law relatives have been telling me. Straight from the horses mouth so to speak. That there is now NO "troubles" - NO risks - re. Tamils - (who are actually, originally, Southern Indians) - and this latest and up-to date info coming from people who go back and forth each year - have families over there - and also have respect for Tamils they have within their own mainly Sinhalese (and Christian) family networks back in Sri Lanka. Lots of loud mouths here think they know more than the locals!

They KNOW - these Aussie Sri Lankans - they're not taking random, running guesses - making up yarns and guessing, a la Christine Milne, S.H.Y, and all the bleeding hearts who haven't the first clue as to some REAL truths!

"Refugee Advocates" my foot. More like professional bleeding hearts! Clueless.

Let's see them go over and find themselves some REAL refugees - with genuine causes - in the squalid camps - where people don't have money to pay people smugglers!
