Chennai: The Australian government on Friday made it clear that Sri Lankan refugees from Tamil Nadu are no longer welcome in its country as they are not from refugee camps approved by United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC).

Nearly 1,200 Lankan refugees tried to travel in boats from Indian subcontinent to Australia between the years 2009 and 2013 died before reaching their destination. Sean Kelly, Australian consul-general to South India pointed out that Australia is not in position to take such refugees reaching their country without UNHRC approval.

“Australia will only resettle those refugees who are registered by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees” he said pointing out that his country will continue to remain a refugee friendly state.

“There is no way that people who attempt to travel to Australia by boat will be allowed to settle in Australia. Anyone who does survive the journey will be intercepted and transferred to regional processing centres in Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea,” Kelly added. Lankan refugees who reached Australia illegally are now in such camps.

He also said that Tamil Nadu government was doing its best to inform Lankan refugees settled in the state that journey by sea to Australia was almost impossible to finish.

Reacting to the news of the arrest of six Lankans in Tiruchy on Tuesday by conspiring to sail to New Zealand, the Australian official noted that he does not think that the six were luring people to New Zealand, but to Australia only.

“Don’t fall into the trap of such human traffickers. It is just not possible to travel such a long distance using ordinary boats without food and fuel,” he added.

No one wants Tamil terrorists.

Tamil Nadu is a cesspool of a state and its leaders promote terrorism, thievery and separatism.

It's wonderful to see Australia publicly slap Tamil Nadu silly.

These same people sailed over boats and settled there. Whites live on edges of Australia, others are free to go and settle who are they to claim the whole continent.

We didn't start that fire and don't blame us for your discriminatory politics which resulted in marginalizing your tamil population. If you guys were fair to them and accepted them as equal then this situation would not have come about. Now you guys have a chance to atone your sins and accept them as equal and welcome them.

India armed, trained and funded terrorism in Sri Lanka. Tamil Nadu politicians continue to support terrorists and separatism in Sri Lanka. India is a disease to South Asia. Start by freeing Kashmir and the North East and letting the Dalits choose their destiny instead of killing them and treating them like sub humans.

How fkin backward can you get.

Deluded and mentally retarded Tamil Nadu.

Talk about things you know, Tamil separatist was not certianly started by India, it has roots in 1920s when universal suffrage was brought to SL but the war and human suffering was started by India.

Sri Lanka can take them back, after all, Sinhalese or Tamil - they are one race and one people; Totally indistinguishable.

First you enact the Citizenship law to discriminate tamils and disenfranchise them and make them stateless. After that you deport them from your country in thousands even though they were born in your country and their ancestors lived there since 1800's. Since 1947 some 300,000 refugees were deported to TN and still you have the gall to blame India. Then you guys pass sinhala as the state language and made your tamil civil service and other tamil employees to resign because they were not fluent in sinhalese. This started the biggest rupture between both your communities. Civil war ensued soon after which resulted in some 100,000 of your minorities to perish at the hands of your army with untold horrors and human suffering. Don't always blame others for their suffering that you could have avoided if you had any sense of compassion and basic humanity.

No one make them to resign. They had to learn Sinhala. that is it. What else we to pass as state langauge other than Sinhala? Your langauge?

we did not invite anyone to our country. Our countries border's were not in our hands during british period and British brought outsiders to alter the demographics and control the sinhala people. If our leaders did not send these people back to where they really belong, SL would have become a real Fiji where the native figians are over powered by indians brought by the colonials. Thanks to sending them back we did not face it.
There is nothing wrong in sending the tamils back.
1. we did not make them come, british did
2. If they are to stay in SL they will have to take the culture of the native people if they are not ready they can leave to where they came from. That is very simple because we need to preserve our homeland the sinhalese homeland.

I personally think these 300k tamils should have been given british citizenship as it was the British who has wronged both us and them.
I dont think we need to give u any excuse in protecting our homeland.

This started the biggest rupture between both your communities. Civil war ensued soon after which resulted in some 100,000 of your minorities to perish at the hands of your army with untold horrors and human suffering.

You know nothing about SL issue. The sinhala and tamil politics saw this so called rupture in early 1920s and 30s. The tamil politicians wanted a minority rule over majority. They had that until universal suffrage was brought to SL. These tamil politicians went to Britain to campaign against giving democracy to SL because they wanted to maintain their minority rule over a majority.

Go and look for 1939 ethnic conflict in SL which is the first ethnic riot between sinhala nd tamil. The reason was a very racist tamil politician called GG ponnambalam.

The issue was turned into a bloody war by the indians by arming LTTE and other tamil militant groups and pressurizing the SL gover not to eliminate it. So india is the 2nd culprit for war in SL after LTTE.

not only minority a 100000 people died all over SL during the 30 year period and we finally put a stop to it. If you want to know about untold horros you can learn how LTTE killed little babies by thrashing them on tree trunks. ICRC an american institute itself reported that SL army worked with utmost care to minimise civilian casualty often sacrificing its soldiers.

They left because you were killing your country men, India entered the picture when u intervened in 1971 war.
