They should talk to Namal Rajapakse, Karuna Amman, and Pillaiyaan as well.

By the way, when the go to Jaffna, who will organise the translators? Government or the Australian High Commission??

TNA cannot fool Bishop. She is a smart operator who will not be fooled by terrorists propaganda. She and Morrison will formulate a tough policy to prevent economic opportunists and racist terrorists from entering Australia.
