In all the undeserved hoo-hah about the grifting illegal immigrant Tamil family and their anchor babies, “refugee advocates” oddly avoid one key issue: why, exactly, is it supposedly “unsafe” for the parents to sod off back home?

It’s not as if at least their father hasn’t gone back for a holiday or two in the interim. Anyway, the long, bloody campaign of separatist terrorism by Sri Lanka’s Tamils is long over, so what, precisely, makes this particular Tamil family so reluctant to go home permanently?

And why have the parents both repeatedly been rejected as refugees?

The persecution […]father Nadesalingam “Nades” Murugappan and her mother, Kokilapath­mapriya “Priya” Nadarasa, say they fear in their home nation is due to a reported association with the Tamil Tigers terrorist organisation. They were both rejected as refugees when they came to Australia on boats in 2012 and 2013 respectively.

“Refugee advocates” seem pretty keen to forget just what the Tamil Tigers got up to, for decades.

While the Tamil Tigers didn’t “invent” the horrific practice of suicide bombing, they are universally credited with developing the murderous tactic as a terrorist weapon so effectively that it has been emulated by terrorist groups in Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Indonesia and other countries.

Velupillai Prabhakaran, the Tigers’ founder and leader, boasted of creating a culture that glorified martyrdom and encouraged suicide bombings as an act of “giving yourself” rather than killing.

How that would play among the Biloela mothers who are supporting “Priya”, or at the meatworks where “Nades” has been working is unclear […]One would think any association, real or concocted, with such a monstrous group would trigger immediate alarm bells with the Sri Lankan authorities that this family would be at pains to avoid, but apparently not so.

Despite their bid for asylum based on their claimed association with the Tigers, who were the world leaders in suicide terrorism from 1980 to 2003, they didn’t fear the Sri Lankan government sufficiently to the point they would avoid visiting.

It appears, as well, that the supposed “groundswell of support” in Biloela is little more than the usual tiny clique of loud-mouthed activists. The following was passed on to me from a comment to another site:

Being a Biloela resident I can tell u it’s a small group of close people supporting the family […] Majority of us in biloela want the family gone and for the media to stop using us to justify their position.

Meanwhile, Labor is resorting to the most appalling sophistries in order to justify their open-slather approach to illegal immigration. It may have been improper for then-minister Peter Dutton to intervene in the cases of a few au pairs working illegally on tourist visas, but the two issues bear no comparison. Au pairs are not attempting to migrate permanently – and they don’t blow children up.

Memo to the ALP: the Tigers took young children and strapped suicide vests on them before sending them to their deaths. The au pairs tied bibs around the necks of toddlers and fed them mush before changing their nappies and placing them in their cots.

Anyone who thinks there’s a moral equivalence between the two is either a psychopathic loon or a leftist. Or both.

Punk rock philosopher. Liberalist contrarian. Grumpy old bastard. I grew up in a generational-Labor-voting family. I kept the faith long after the political left had abandoned it. In the last decade...
