Many of them are born in Sri Lanka. But not Sri Lankans anymore by citizenship.

Criminal waste of public money. What assstance can this new consul give to the Sri Lankans in Melbourne who are over 90% Australian citizens. This new man probably is a relative a sycophant of the regime or some unqualified fellow who could hardly speak gramatical Engllish like some of the Jokers in Canberra.

better to shut down one at india and allocate that money to maintain this. No use of keeping more than one consulate in india

Hippocratic comments! Melbourne has over 100,000 Sri Lankans and they sure need one. Good decision by Govt

Another holiday resort for some retired senior politico. Why not make resorts also in Sydney, Brisbane and all the cities in Europe.
