Noel Down Under

I observed with interest, that the person named Premakumar Gunaratnam, alias Kumar Mahaththaya, alias Noel Mudalige was welcomed with great joy by the Australian High Commissioner in Sri Lanka, who carried his passport around and then ensured that the Second Noel will enter Australia triumphantly.

I am sure Gunaratnam Mudalige will be very comfortable in Australia since he has outstanding credentials of armed insurrections and a wonderful criminal past. We all know that Australia was founded by people similar to Premakumar Noel, and therefore his entry as a hero down under, will probably be a joyous event in that country.  

We wish Kumar Mahaththaya all success in Australia and may his career in Australia flourish with the skills he has acquired so far in life.

PS. Thank you, High Commissioner for taking Noel to your home, so lovingly.   Incidentally, we have about another 25,000 convicts here in our country.  If you are keen, we would like to offer them also to you.
