Now, I am not totally against measures to limit the number of boats that leave safe havens and try to reach Australia; it is a treacherous voyage and unnecessary if the refugees are in a place where their lives are not in immediate danger. A very uncomfortable position for me to take given my strong progressive views on just about every other aspect of Australian society. BUT(!!!!!) I must say, returning Tamils to Sri Lanka is tantamount to murder. By all means, negotiate a return to India or put them on Manus or Nauru but do not return them to their torturers. This is equivalent to sending Jews back to Germany during the second world war. I believe this is a step too far. Does anyone disagree?
