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

Dutton and the word compassion should NEVER be used in the same sentence

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.

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.
Sky News host Peta Credlin says no one gets to come to Australia illegally on a boat, โrun the gauntlet of our legal systemโ, get knocked back and stay. โIf 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.โ 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. โThere is nothing to stop this family returning to Sri Lankan and applying to come, like everyone else, the right way.โ โTo 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.โ

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.
