Australia Celebrates Boat Arrivals !

The article by the Sunday Leader was headed ‘Australia warns Sri Lankans attempting to travel illegally’ . As per this article :

[“Australia’s border is very well protected. Anyone who says otherwise is lying,” High Commissioner Hutchesson said.]

Those who read the High Commissioner’s message are not likely to be the ones to take a boat-trip to Australia. Even if  the message reaches the rural papers published in Tamil and Sinhalese – the Sri Lankan mind that is looking for avenues below the law, would be immune to such messages. Hence the warning is to the Sri Lankan Government – particularly the Sri Lankan Border Protection authorities. It was said in the language of the ordinary Sri Lankan largely for the purpose of confirming the status of Australia as a ‘telling authority’ in Sri Lanka. The way authority is exerted is to reduce the status of Sri Lankans by publicly finding fault. If Australians truly felt for Sri Lankans – they would cure through confidential sharing and not public statements.

Here in Australia, I was listed as a Sri Lankan despite the knowledge by the authorities that I was Australian by law. Since I could not share my belief that I was Australian by law, I accepted the ‘below the law’ position that was allocated to me by the authorities on behalf of Australia. Hence I am able to receive  the messages to Sri Lankans on their behalf by Australian authorities. I am able to because I completed my citizenship of both nations – at the highest common level in the respective nation. The Sri Lankan level is higher than that of the Australian.  That is how the system of Karma, based on my true values guides me. In either nation I will not be ‘told’ by anyone who is yet to complete their own citizenship as per their own conscience. If anyone did try to enforce me to accept their telling,  with or without the support of their official position, and I reject it – they separate themselves from the protection of law that I have at all times demonstrated respect for and upheld the status of the structure despite feeling that I had been treated unjustly.

If Australians accept that they are outsiders to Sri Lankans – then there is an obligation for Australia to repatriate all Sri Lankans who settled down in Australia on the basis of hardship in Sri Lanka. That is the way Relativity works to support the system of Karma. If the Australian Government accepted the natural elders and true leaders – on the basis of hardship – then their heirs are entitled to use the pathway used by their leaders until those heirs feel that they would be better off in Sri Lanka. That is the right of the victim. Australians do not have the right to ‘tell’ Sri Lankans directly. Sri Lankan government has the right. Australian government has to wait until Sri Lankans are within Australian borders. Otherwise it is an attack on the Sovereignty of Sri Lankans.

As per the  news, the Indonesian President is currently in Sri Lanka. That brings back sad memories of Australians who paid the price due to the inability of the Australian Federal Police to escalate a problem to the higher global level that all Australians are entitled to be dealt at. The feelings of the mother of such a victim is reported by Wikipedia as follows:

"I feel very let down by our Australian Federal Police – we tried to lawfully stop our son leaving the country, it wasn't done..... "The Federal Police can do, go wherever they want, do anything, anytime without supervision from the Australian Attorney-General or from the Justice Minister."....."This is not good for Australians and our laws need to be changed to protect our citizens and this must not happen to any Australian citizen again."

— Christine Rush, mother of Scott Rush, February 2006.

Indonesians, like Sri Lankans are exporters of Human Resources. Australians are importers. Unless we value our own citizens at the highest common level – we would continue to ‘show’ how clever we are, by getting others like Indonesians and Sri Lankans to do our dirty work. Had Indonesia respected Australia as being a senior in valuing Human Resources  the offenders would have been repatriated. If Indonesia had considered Australia to be an Independent Nation – Indonesian government would have refused the intelligence of the Australian Federal Police.

As per Natural Justice both countries failed the test of Independence. Tomorrow we Australians celebrate the boat arrivals of British, 230 years ago presented as follows by Wikipedia:

[Australia Day is the official national day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, it marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales and the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillip]

On Australia Day we celebrate Governor Arthur Phillip raising the British flag – which is the flag of a migrant.

All boat arrivals since then are the heirs of the above migrants who bring memories of their lives in their home-nations. If Governor Arthur Phillip raised the flag by ‘seeing and believing and capturing’ then all those who see and believe that Australia will benefit by their life here as ‘free’ persons  are entitled to land here and make their claims by just landing here. Each year we celebrate – Australia Day – we celebrate boat arrivals. The more we celebrate boat arrivals – the stronger  the invitation for Boat migrants to come and succeed in Australia – as the British did 230 years ago. That is the way Karma works. This is why Jesus said ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’.

High Commissioner Hutchesson may need to meditate on Jesus before invoking the ‘Boat’ message close to Australia Day. If he so does,  High Commissioner Hutchesson would hear his Christian voice inviting more Boat people to enjoy this Homeland of Ours which is girt by sea and appreciate that that pathway is the natural pathway for all migrants who genuinely seek a home in Australia. So let us sing together High Commissioners and celebrate our Truth :

Australians all let us rejoice,

For we are young and free;

We've golden soil and wealth for toil;

Our home is girt by sea;

Our land abounds in nature's gifts

Of beauty rich and rare;

In history's page, let every stage

Advance Australia Fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing,

Advance Australia Fair.
