Should They Be Deported?

Yes, if they don't meet the local requirements or go through the due process required as is by so many wanting to come to Australia.

We have no compassion - we only want the rich (or au pairs)

I think they should stay.

The husband is working so they are not a 'drain on the welfare system'.

The township where they live wants them to stay so clearly they have intergrated well.

It seems to me that these are the kind of refugees (in its broadest sense - things are still difficult in Sri Lanka for Tamil people) that the government would want.

And aside from that, I am disgusted with our cold hearted and incompetent government (on so many issues, not just refugees) that maybe for once in their collective tiny minds they might do something good for someone.

Both of my parents came here by boat.
Pity they aren't in the Mafia.
Just have to give an MP a wad of cash and you can stay.
Just ask Amanda Vanstone

Sky News host Peta Credlin says no one gets to come to Australia illegally on a boat, “run the gauntlet of our legal system”, get knocked back and stay. “If we start bending the rules, we send a message to people smugglers that you just wear down the legal system here, delay long enough to have children in Australia, and therein lies your ticket to stay.” Her remarks come after a plane, late on Thursday night, deporting two Sri Lankans and their children back to their country was forced to land in Darwin due to a court injunction in the latest bid to allow this family to stay. “There is nothing to stop this family returning to Sri Lankan and applying to come, like everyone else, the right way.” “To do otherwise breaches the very fundamentals of our border protection regime that the Coalition has only managed to put back together after the onslaught, by people smugglers, and 50,000 illegal arrivals, during the Rudd-Gillard years.”

Might be one of the reasons why they aren't allowed to stay due to possible links and why they chose to come

in the "wrong" way.?

The Tamil family facing deportation by the Australian Government fears persecution because of past family links

to Tamil Tigers.

The Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka are undoubtedly one of the most organized, effective and brutal terrorist groups in

the world.

They invented the suicide vest and, according to the FBI, are the only terrorist group to have assassinated two

world leaders.

Interesting link

I cant work out why they were allowed to stay here for so long , also why they were permitted to work? Apparently the kids are not Au citizens, so that's not going to help their case

I think they should stay. If they were going to deport them it should have been done a long time ago. 2 of their children were born here dad works, they have blended in to their remote small central Qld community. It's too late now. IMO

Re: Should They Be Deported?

Well that's probably how the people smugglers sell it to their customers.

"You can get into Australia by pretending your're a refugee. If they find you out,you can take it to the courts, which will take years. In the meantime you can get a job, get married, have a few kids, and they won't have the heart to deport you."

They couldn't deport them until ALL the avenues of appeal had been exhausted and that can take quite a few years. Their kids are not Au citizens atm

There is no room for ' emotions ' in the LAW of our country.

The emotional desire to cancel our LAW in favour of some - gives others - an opportunity.

It should not happen - we have Laws for a reason - no exemptions.

Do it right - or don't do it at all.
