    Sri Lanka offers ‘help’ with asylum-seekers


    "
    "But Sri Lankan human rights lawyer and refugee advocate Lakshan Dias said in the past 12 months Australia had deported numerous formerly India-based Sri Lankan Tamil asylum-seekers to Sri Lanka.

    “It’s not because the Indian government has refused to accept people back but because Australia has this understanding with the Sri Lankan government,” Mr Dias said. “Many of these people who have been returned to Sri Lanka have been living in India for 10 or 20 years.".

    the tamils on the boat which is the subject of current interest, sailed from india - ie they are country shopping.  it might be a bit hard to send them back to india in an orange lifeboat - but if our good friends from sri lanka are happy to take them back, then a chartered air flight to sri lanka would be a good idea.

    wow - the greens will be jumping up and down, if scotty sends them back to sri lanka
