Actually there are no more deserving refugees; only greener Pasteur seekers.

Who is funding the air tickets and the process? SL or Ausi?

The Australian Government is spending A$3,300 on each asylum seeker to return home to Sri Lanka as well for the air ticket. In addition they also provide them with TV's, mobile phones, cigarettes entertainment etc during their stay in the detention centres.In fact the Australian Taxpayer is spending over one million each day to run the detention centres in Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea as well as the other detention centres in mainland Australia.

Correct.
Most of these people migrating via this hazardous journey are physically able youth with lots of talent. Some might disagree with me, but as I see it, they could have invested that USD 3,000 here in SL and started a business. It will not be a bed of roses in the beginning, but worth a try rather than risking your life & money into smuggler's hands.
If you go legally, that's another story - go and earn as much as you can! Or else, be wise and spend your money & talent in something you are sure of!!
How many you guys get stuck in local garages due to shortage of mechanics? Do you know most of these garage mechanics & owners earn more money than us commenting here? There are opportunities men, go and explore your in your own country first.

Too much of incidents of asylum. We will have to set up a new ministry for this "MINISTRY OF ASYLUM SEEKERS"

The tide is definitely turning with the new measures introduced by the Australian government. Even then some of these false asylum seekers must be thinking they are in a win-win situation because they get a free ride in a plane back to Sri Lanka, forgetting the large amounts they have paid to the smugglers.
