Australia deported another 28 Sri Lankan illegal immigrants yesterday.  

The Australian Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Brendan O'Connor has said the group departed Christmas Island yesterday and will arrive in Colombo today. Their return takes the number of Sri Lankans deported by Australia to Sri Lanka to 1206 -since August last year.

Minister O'Connor has said returning the group to Sri Lankans sends a powerful message.

He has said that the Australian government is making it crystal clear that those who pay smugglers are throwing their money away and risking their lives in the process.  He has said that Australia is committed to breaking the evil people smuggling trade, deterring people from taking dangerous journeys by boat and saving lives at sea.

The Minister has said that there is no visa on arrival, there is no speedy outcome, and there is no special treatment. (niz)
