The Australian government is showing no sign of backing down on the case of Priya, Nades and their two Australian-born daughters, maintaining Sri Lanka will be safe for them.
It's a point that some Tamil Australians strongly push back against.
"What people need to understand is that the Sri Lankan government committed a genocide against Tamils just 10 years ago. More than 100,000 Tamils were murdered by the Sri Lankan armed forces," spokesman for the Tamil Refugee Council Aran Mylvaganam told SBS News.
