Why can't the editor put a more related heading line "Spokesperson for Asylum seekers is a Human Smuggler"? Try to tone down the pathetic eyewash that these opportunists were trying?

Even if Alex was Sanjeev and had been deported from Canada, it would not make one iota of difference to the refugee claims of the Tamil asylum seekers. Alex has every right to conceal his identity, when the whole Australian State apparatus with the connivance of the media establishment are on a journey to determine their refugee status by trial by ordeal in the glaring public. That's what the Refugee Convention requires Australia to do.
