"What qualifies you to judge this writer as unworthy and why? Never a word of contempt for the likes of Bolt and attacks any independent writer just for publishing in independent publications.
Is it a bit of jealousy rising up in old age? I'm sure if you write a good enough article one of the independent publishers would accept it."
Please, the favoured citizen journalist rags here are actually self styled "Independent", and always seem to be of a pink hue, as are some of the other journals that Kampmark writes to: CounterPunch, Dissident Voice, and Eureka Street, and I have never been a fan of Julian Assange either. Unworthy, no..... biased, yes
I judge, based upon what was written, not written, and the above:
The writer has written:
A brutal civil war, brought to a particularly brutal conclusion in 2009 by the Singhalese dominated forces, has done nothing to reassure advocates about the fate of returned Tamils โ who, by the admission of Sri Lankan authorities, will face
โ... rigorous imprisonment."
The facts so far are that of the 41 passengers on the boat that left Sri Lanka, 36 were Sinhalese and 5 Tamil. So far all have been dealt with by Galle Magistrates Court and other than facilitators/crew have been released on the equivalent of $10.00 bail . The other 153 "missing" boat passengers (economic and ?) will never be allowed to enter Sri Lanka, whilst India, the original place of departure, will not accept them either.
Of the first boat an official has said:
"They will be charged under the Immigrants and Emigrants Act. The sentence for those proved to have left illegally is two years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine."But if there are any facilitators, then they will be tried even if they have left via an authorised port legally."
Sri Lanka law is not our purvue.
The "fate of the returned Tamils" is mentioned but not the returned Sinhalese, or that they are obviously economic migrants is overlooked to make a 'partial' point.
Also written by the left leaning author:
The problem here is compounded by difficulties in monitoring the fate of returnees." Really? in open magistrates court and now free on bail? (apart from the organisers)
"What qualifies you to judge this writer as unworthy and why? Never a word of contempt for the likes of Bolt."
I see you also suffer from lack of research capabilities (ageing memory perhaps) because I have a few times in the past indicated my distaste for Bolt.
Try some research, it is easy, allow me to give you a start, here is one of my posts from some 4 months ago:
"Bolt - Australia's most shameful Trollomnist"
And the most widely read, I wonder why?
