There's not a lot of Sri Lankans in New Zealand, so Helen Clark's Labour government doesn't have to care too much about this one. I wonder what Helen's precious boss, the UN would have to say about this though.

If my daughter was in danger, I would be at her side to protect her, even if I had to eat from trash cans. I would not tell her that I could not be with her because of my job.

I don't about this! If this were my daughter, job be damned!! I would not let her go back to that place alone, I would spend my dying breath protecting her.
