Malo e lelei everyone, Is it because the perpetrator is Tongan and we are so worried about the intergrity of the Tongan Community above everything else?. Good governance and the rule of law should be respected by all citizens in this country. Kataki pe Atenisi Kolomotu'a you're certainly not speaking on my behalf. I totally support the Immigration Minister's decision. There are some of us who will write to these Federal
Ministers to refute your claim to represent us in the Tongan community and the Pacific community as our views are quite the opposite. Also I wanted those ministers " ke mahino kiate kinautolu óku íkai koha kakai taéátamai kitautolu". There is a history to this case and this family oku tau faka'apa'api ki ai oku 'ikai totonu ke tau lave ki ai 'i he email. Shortcut to: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/the-taufahemas-a-loving-family-of-killers-and-thugs/story-e6freuy9-1225769649540. This article is based on facts. Some of us know about the history more than others through our work or in the community. As individuals and as a community lets face the facts rather than denying "he oku tau faka'ofa'ia.. etc" I agree the media has a responsibilty to report the news non discriminatory. Therefore the media aspect of the complaint should be isolated from the Minister's decison to deport the prepetrator of this crime. This is not the first case in Australia that the Immigration Minister has used his Ministerial power to deport criminals to their home country. Ultimately the safety of the community is paramount and for that I applaud the Minister for his decision. As a community we should take responsility ki he fehalaaki kuo hoko ki he famili mo e tokotaha ko eni. A police officer was killed and there was a court ruling on the case. That is the fact of the matter. We have every right to complain to the media and to the government as we live in a democratic country however we must also respect the rule of law in this country. For those who
do not respect the law they must bear the consequences - whether they are Tongan or not. Malo aupito Seini Afeaki

Dear Members of the Federal Parliament of Australia from NSW I am a proud member of the Australian-Tongan Community brought you together on behalf of the leaders of the communities of the Australian-South Pacific Islanders including the Australian-Tongan Community in Australia. They are also present in this temporary forum. How else would you hear the voices of the minority groups
such as ours? On the 17th of June, 2010 (few days ago) Channel 9 TV News announced that the young man who involved in killing of the NSW Policeman few years ago will be deported to Tonga. In addition, Channel 9 also put on air the father of the policeman ,....he quoted......'they all are' which has been perceived as referring to all members of the South Pacific Islanders Community Groups who have immigrated to Australia from Tonga should all be deported. Was the father of the policeman referring to those who involved in the killing of his son to be deported? Does he understands that his remarks have also psychologically and socially killed the same killers that killed his son? Furthermore, his remarks also politically killed their parents and the members of the Australian-Tongan community. They are emotionally walking dead people! The pain
is too overwhelming for the parents. Was that the intention of the media? Within the last few years, there were articles by Sunday Telegraph and ABC painting pictures of the parenting of the killers of the policeman as dysfunctional. Members of Parliament, are we the Australian Community supposed to believe the media have disclosed the whole truth about the killers and their family? Would you expect the parents of the killers to confront the media for defamation whilst they are mourning and grieving for the damage their sons have caused to themselves, the family of the policeman, and the people of Australia and Tonga? We, as minority groups are claiming it is an illegal process (indirect discrimination) for the media to publicly label the killers and their parents as 'Tongans' because the direct impacts on the lives of the members of the
Australian-Tongan Community have definitely deny their human rights, and indirectly contributing to poverty and unemployment in Tonga. ABC had an article that said, ......'The NSW Government and Police Commissioner have lobby the Federal Government to deport' referring to those who involved in the killing of the policeman. Federal Members of Parliament, how did the people quoted by the ABC article as 'NSW Goverment' called for the deportation of these young men knew the parents of the killers are originally from Tonga? May I remind you, our communities are vunerable because we are the minorities therefore our capacity to confront the media in a country such as Australia is also vunerable. It was the media that 'stir'the members of the public and
indirectly encouraging 'racism'and 'discrimination' reflected by the decision of the Minister of Immigration to deport the killers. The parents of the killers are Australian Citizens, they migrated from Tonga. I believe the killers of the policeman are also Australian Citizens, but labeled as 'Tongans' a form of attracting racism and discrimination within the mainstream. Channel 9 News also mentioned on the 17/6/2010 that the Minister of Immigration has decided to deport the killers even though all the members of their family are Australian Citizens. It is definitely clear that the outcome of the 'indirect-discrimination'of the Media has influenced the Minister of Immigration to discriminate the killers of the policeman and to declare that they will be deported to Tonga. Members of Federal Parliament, I urge you to communicate with your counterparts the NSW Members of Parliament, and to inform them that both the media and you as members of the Australian Federal & NSW Parliaments have hurt the members of the Australian-South Pacific Islanders Minority Groups including the Australian-Tongan Community (17 small countries in the South Pacific). It appears to our communities that none of you have acknowledged the indirect'-discrimination' of the media has a direct influence on the decision of the Minister of Immigration. He would never decide to deport the killers unless he received requests to do so from írrational and uncritical individuals. But how did the individuals that lobby the NSW Goverment find out that the parents of the killers migrated from Tonga? The media has
caused so much damage to the integrity of our communities. Our children receive racism remarks in schools and social functions as the impacts of the indirect-discrimination of the media. We experience indirect-discrimination at our workplaces also. It stops many people from visiting Tonga because they think all Tongans are killers, due to the Media and Immigration Minister's attitude towards the killers of the policeman and their family as explained. When the media and the Minister of Immigration undermine our communities on committing índirect-discrimination, it is clear that demoracy is not for all, is it only for a few? These young men that killed the policeman have made the most terrible mistakes of their lives. Are they the only individuals in Australia who made
mistakes? Why do you keep punishing the Australian-Tongan Community? now you made a decision to deport them to Tonga? Would you deport your children if they kill someone in the future to Tonga as well? As a community, we request the Immigration Minister to withdraw his decision, this will give us confidence in the current Government. We also request the leaders, Hon. Kevin Rudd & Tony Abbot, of both the Labour and Liberal parties to apologise in public to the Australian-Tongan community for undermining our human rights as explained, and to reassure the people of Australia that índirect-discrimination and racism is not tolerated in Australia. Yours faithfully Atenisi Kolomotuá. for the Forefathers of democracy and minority groups in Australia. & the children of the Australian-Tongan Community
