To:\u00a0Rt. Hon John Key MP,

Dear Mr. Key,<\/p>\n

Please find below an email trail showing how LTTE (Tamil Tiger) Diaspora had been able to achieve the inclusion of Tamil Elam\u201d as a country of birth in the Australian Electoral register at the ASB website. Clearly, this has been achieved by hood winking unsuspecting officials involved into believing that “Tamil Elam exists or existed as a country, when it never did even remotely.<\/p>\n

This is very similar to how the unsuspecting NZTA officials were made to permit the \u00a0motor car personalised plate LTTE\u201d, \u00a0the initials of a terrorist organisation, considered the most brutal ever by the FBI. You may recall how a few months ago I brought this to your notice and that of the police, that eventually led to the withdrawal of the number plate and including these initials as proscribed\u201d for number plates in the NZTA computers.<\/p>\n

These events highlight the importance of the security services in Australia and New Zealand being vigilant to the manipulations of the LTTE diaspora. One particular area , I believe , this diaspora is active in manipulating is in \u00a0advocating for increasing refugee arrivals. I believe, they use such provisions to facilitate the arrival of their associates with terrorist connection, under guise of refugees, to support their activities.These would \u00a0ultimately \u00a0serve to be a threat to the security of New Zealand & Australia.<\/p>\n

I believe that the likes of the owner of the LTTE\u201d personalised plate and \u00a0his \u00a0associates should be kept under surveillance for \u00a0such activities.<\/p>\n

Thank You.<\/p>\n

Yours Sincerely,<\/p>\n

HE Mr S . Skandakumar,<\/p>\n

High Commissioner for SL in Aus & NZ<\/p>\n

Dear Mr Skandakumar<\/p>\n

Thank you very much for your email below informing us of you successfully achieving the deletion of Tamil Elam\u201d from ASB website as a country description for a country of birth.<\/p>\n

Your actions are much appreciated and underscores the importance of continued vigilance against misinformation that could jeopardise racial harmony and ethnic reconciliation among Sri Lankans.<\/p>\n

I will circulate your email among Sri Lankans in Wellington who may have been concerned by this ill informed and ill advised inclusion.<\/p>\n

With many thanks & best regards,<\/p>\n

Dear Mr. Rajapakse<\/p>\n

The High Commission officially made a complaint to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on 8th<\/sup>\u00a0August, the first working day after it received information about the ABS website listing Tamil Eelam\u201d as a country description to indicate country of birth for the 2016 Census.<\/p>\n

The DFAT has taken it up with the ABS and impressed upon them the need to remove “Tamil Eelam” from the website. ABS has assured DFAT it will be done today (9th August).<\/p>\n

The High Commissioner has also spoken directly to the Head of ABS regarding this and has been assured action will be taken urgently.<\/p>\n

While thanking you for your email to the High Commission, you may also wish to take it up with your local MP or Australian government directly as a concerned Australian of Sri Lankan origin.<\/p>\n

High Commission of Sri Lanka in Australia<\/p>\n

NB –\u00a0David Kalisch, \u00a0Head of Census with whom the High Commissioner spoke yesterday morning called back to confirm that the reference has \u00a0been deleted.<\/p>\n
