Aussie Senator gives reasons to justify proscribing LTTE

"The weight of historical evidence of Tamil fundraising act in Australia and approximately 240 suicide bombings over a period of 25 years should be sufficient to please you" to ban the LTTE as a terrorist in Australia says a Senator from New South Wales to the Attorney General of Australia.
Senator Stephen Hutchins states that: Following the new suicide bombing in Sri Lankan in which the previous High Commissioner to Australia, retired Major General Janaka Perera and his wife (both whom I appreciate were Australian citizens) were killed. I consider it is critical that the Rudd Labor Government get steps to ban the release Tigers of Tamil Eelam as a terrorist association under the Security Legislation Amendment (Terrorism) Act 2002.
He has informed the Attorney General Hon. Robert McLelland that: "By proscribing this organization and benefit local Tamils accountable we would be sharing a clear communication that the country does not place terrorism....and that "Thirty three countries have now proscribed the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam as a terrorist organization. These are not small or obscure nations. They include the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Here is the text of Senator Hutchins' letter:

Dear Robert
Re: Proscription of the LTTE as a terrorist organization
Following the new suicide bombing in Sri Lankan in which the former High Commissioner to Australia, retired Major General Janaka Perera and his wife (both whom I understand were Australian citizens) were killed. I consider it is dangerous that the Rudd Labor Government take ladder to ban the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam as a terrorist association under the Security Legislation Amendment (Terrorism) Act 2002.
It has been common knowledge for years that Australian-base Tamil expatriates have used Australian organizations and businesses as fronts to tunnel money rear to the LTTE.
The former Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer candidly documented that Australian money were keeping this violent war going.
High outline examples included collecting money out of a West Australian Hindu place of worship and defrauding Australians of millions of dollars in tsunami release donations.
In August 2007, it was exposed by the Asian Tribune that three Australian radio stations were being used for on-air fundraising. Several cases were documented where a Tamil terrorist leader being interviewed made commentary like "We are existing only because of your contributions..." and"... our boys and girls are fighting the Sinhala enemy who must be annihilated..."
By proscribing this association and holding local Tamils accountable we would be sending a clear message that the country does not stand terrorism.
Thirty three countries have now proscribed the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam as a terrorist organization. These are not small or difficult to understand nations. They comprise the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
I am aware that for you to ban an organization, you must first be of the confidence that the organization "is directly or not in a straight line engaged in, preparing, planning, assisting or development the doing of a terrorist act".
I consider the weight of historical proof of Tamil fundraising act in Australia and approximately 240 suicide bombings in surplus of a era of 25 years should be enough to satisfy you in this look upon.
Only from side to side proscribing the LTTE as a terrorist organization will we be clever to authorize the Australian government to take appropriate act next to individuals who insist on funneling money to this organization.
It is critical that the Rudd Labor Government act now to stop Australian money from being used to fund this violent disagreement.
