அவுஸ்திரெலியாவில் சிங்களவர்கள் பசுமை நிறக்கட்சிக்கு வாக்களிக்கவேண்டாம் என்று மின்னஞ்சல் தெரிந்தவர்களுக்கு அனுப்பிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள். அவர்கள் பசுமை நிறக்கட்சிக்கு வாக்களிக்கக்கூடாது என்று சொன்னதற்குக் காரணம் வன்னி அவலம் நடைபெற்றபோது தமிழர்களுக்காக பசுமை நிறக்கட்சி ஆதரவு தெரிவித்தவிடயம்தான். வன்னி அவலம் நடைபெற்ற போது தமிழர்களுக்காகக் குரல் கொடுத்த பசுமை நிறக்கட்சிக்கு தமிழர்கள் வாக்களிக்கவேண்டும்.

சிங்களவர்கள் ஏன் பசுமை நிறக்கட்சிக்கு வாக்களிக்கக்கூடாது என்று சொல்வதற்கான காரணங்கள்

IMPORTANT REQUEST TO SRI LANKAN AUSTRALIANS LIVING IN AUSTRALIA, IN PARTICULAR TO THOSE WHO ARE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE (WE BELIEVE NUMBERING NEARLY 100,000), IN THE AUSTRALIAN GENERAL ELECTION ON 21 AUGUST 2010

Posted on July 29th, 2010

Sri Lanka Support Group, Canberra

Dear Australians of Sri Lankan origin who will be voting at the forthcoming general election,

Please do not cast your vote for the Australian Greens. Please put the Australian Greens as your last preference in your ballot paper. This will be a very big help that you will be doing for your mother country, Sri Lanka.

In our view the Australian Greens have done so much damage to Sri Lanka. Some of which are listed below (courtesy: Sri Diaspora):

1) The Australian Greens leader, Bob Brown, went to show solidarity with the Tamils on hunger strike in Canberra, just prior to the end of the terrorist war in Sri Lanka in 2009

(2) Sydney Tamil groups, who cry for the separation of Sri Lanka, supported Mr Bob Brown’s fundraiser on 16 July 2010

(3) On Channel 9 TV, Mr Bob Brown vehemently criticised Sri Lanka, stating that there are about 250,000 Tamil civilians being held in what he called “concentration camps” in pretty appalling conditions. He stated some of the civilians are being released at the moment, but the government authorities are going through those camps to try to weed out the people they feel were leading the insurrection. This statement was not true and was an unfair accusation towards Sri Lanka.http://greensmps.org.au/blog/bob-ch9-with-laurie-oakes

(4) Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young put forward a Motion in the Canberra Parliament on 26 June 2010 requesting that an international investigation be conducted in relation to the conduct of the war in Sri Lanka.

(5) The Australian Greens appointed a Sri Lankan Tamil woman (whose uncle is alleged to be in jail in the UK for aiding the Tamil terrorist group, the Tamil Tigers) to contest the forthcoming general election as one of their senate candidates in NSW. This is effectively a slap on the face of the Sinhalese living in Australia.

(6) Bob Brown spoke in support of the Tamils and criticised the Sri Lankan Government.

(7) Australian Greens leaders have often spoken in favour of the unfair and unreasonable Tamil causes that underpins the separation of Sri Lanka, while demeaning and unfairly criticising the government of Sri Lanka

(8) The Australian Greens have incorrectly apportioned blame on the Government of Sri Lanka for the influx of Tamil asylum seekers to Australia by boats. Mr Bob Brown and Sarah Hanson – Young have somewhat taken leadership roles in this regard in Australia.

The Australian Greens have committed unfriendly and hostile acts towards a country friendly to Australia, Sri Lanka, we believe to garner a vote base.

On many occasions the Australian Greens have shown unfriendliness towards Sri Lanka in the past. They have criticized Sri Lanka unfairly and unreasonably. They have not firmly supported the unitary status of Sri Lanka, but have shown support to the Sri Lankan separatist elements in Australia that wish to have Sri Lanka split into two nations.

It is believed that Sri Lankan Tamils in Australia have made financial contributions to the Australian Greens.

It has come to our attention that Mr Bob Brown has not favourably responded to requests made by Sinhalese Groups in Australia to meet with him.

Let us not vote for the Australian Greens in the forthcoming general election. Let us put the Australian Greens as our last preference.

By doing this you will be doing a great service to Sri Lanka.

Apart from the above, the following federal parliamentarian has consistently severely and unfairly criticised Sri Lanka in the federal parliament. He has only promoted the agenda of the Tamil groups, and has denied appointments for Sinhalese groups to meet with him:

JOHN MURPHY – MEMBER FOR LOWE

Let us not vote for them as they have not been friendly to Sri Lanka on many occasions. We believe they are against the best intersts of Sri Lanka.

On 1 June 2009, Melissa Parke, Member for Freemantle WA, introduced a Private Members’ Motion in the Canberra Parliament, requesting an independent international investigation into war crimes alleged to have been committed by both parties (Sri Lankan Government and the LTTE)

The following members of the federal parliament spoke in support of Ms Parke’s Motion:

John Murphy MP for Lowe

Julie Owens MP for Parramatta

Kerry Rea MP for Bonner

Alex Hawke MP for Mitchell

Louise Markus MP for Greenway

Bruce Billson MP for Dunkley

We urge the Sri Lankans living in Australia, to support Mr Don Randall, MP for Canning WA, and Mr Steve Hutchins, Senator for NSW, who are seeking re-election in the forthcoming general elections. They have been great friends to Sri Lanka and have spoken very much in support of Sri Lanka in so many places on so many occasions. We urge the Sri Lankans living in Australia to vote for them, disregarding any other party affinities (only if they apply). Thank you.

Please spread this message as much as possible among the Sri Lankan disapora living in Australia especially those who are eligible to vote at the coming general election (we believe, numbering nearly 100,000).
