Philip Ruddock – An Honorary Sri Lankan?<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"Philip<\/p>\n

Sri Lankan Senior\u2019s Day 2019:<\/strong> Over 250 Sri Lankans have come to celebrate at the Thornleigh Education and Leisure Centre, and the venue is packed. Out of the corner of my eye I can see a grey haired, fair skinned man joyfully tucking into a rather spicy Sri Lankan curry. I look a little closer and realise it\u2019s Philip Ruddock, our guest of honour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally, there\u2019s a steady stream of seniors waiting to meet him. I wait for an appropriate time to introduce myself to Philip Ruddock. Seeing so many fans of Mr Ruddock, I leaned in and said, \u201cOnce upon a time you wouldn\u2019t have been very popular with our people.\u201d He looked a little surprised. \u201cOh, why?\u201d he responded matter-of-factly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ruddock was one of the generals of the John Howard Government who played a pivotal role in \u201cturning back the boats,\u201d including the Norwegian freighter Tampa<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not familiar with the Tampa boat crisis, it was August 2001 when the Australian Government took a firm stance and refused the Norwegian freighter MV Tampa carrying 433 refugees to enter Australia. Those who recall the events of the day may remember some of the headlines like, ”that boat will never land in our waters – never!” You may also recall that the headlines were all about the refugees throwing children overboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

With regards to the Tampa crisis, I completely disagreed with Ruddock\u2019s stance. As I sit among my Sri Lankan community, it is so clear that we are all migrants in this country. And, many of us have had to jump through the proverbial hoops to be granted the privilege of calling Australia home.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, it begs the question; how does a government go about managing immigration?<\/span><\/p>\n

To even begin to understand the most uncompromising government rulings, you need to understand their inner workings. During my conversation with Ruddock, he highlighted a few points that are worth considering.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo put it in perspective, we get applications from more than a million people around the world every year, and we can\u2019t take them all.\u201d Ruddock wanted to make the point of noting the challenge of such requests, and how any government could manage receiving such a large volume of new arrivals. \u201cIf it\u2019s badly managed, the people will say \u201cenough is enough.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, Australia is a melting pot of diverse cultures and nationalities. Ruddock posed the question to me; \u201cHow do you balance it, so that it\u2019s fair to Australian people as well as new migrants?\u201d This is a great question from the ex-minister.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a Sri Lankan community, what solutions are we bringing to the table? And, how do we want to approach the issues of people smuggling and illegal immigrants? Rather than waiting for the government, what are our responsibilities as citizens of Australia?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy view\u201d Ruddock stressed, \u201cWe need to determine who needs help the most for the limited number of places we have.\u201d He continued, \u201cWe want to be fair when it comes to what\u2019s in Australia\u2019s best interest and, has the support of the public.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As Philip Ruddock emphasised, there is a difference between skilled migrants, asylum seekers, refugees and illegal immigrants. Australia needs skilled immigrants. Sri Lankan\u2019s excel in providing the skills that the Australia labour market requires. We are fully supported by the Australian government in bringing families over here.<\/span><\/p>\n

My insight into Phillip Ruddock was this; he was a tough, unwavering and uncompromising Minister. Yet, beneath this exterior, is kindness and generosity. I felt I\u2019d misjudged this man based on what I\u2019d seen in the media. Given his experience, Phillip Ruddock can make massive contributions to our country by having skilled migrants excel in Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keen to learn more about Mr Ruddock, we talked about the times he visited Sri Lanka. \u201cThree or four times\u201d he says. Polonnaruwa and Kandy had been a distinct highlight.<\/span><\/p>\n

During our conversation, his genuine love for Sri Lanka was evident. Most politicians who attend our functions stay the obligatory hour or so, and excuse themselves saying \u201cI have another function to attend to.\u201d There was no rush with Ruddock. He wasn\u2019t grand standing.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a few hours I made my way out. As I glanced back, I noticed Philip Ruddock was still there \u2013 chatting with fellow Sri Lankans. He was at ease with our Sri Lankan community. Just happy to chat and be part of the crowd. I could see his appreciation for new Australians, and their journey.<\/span><\/p>\n
