To the Honourable Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives assembled in Parliament.

We the citizens of Strathfield Municipal Council draw to the attention of the House our concern over the ethnic conflict currently occurring in Sri Lanka.

We ask the House to support negotiations to finding a political solution to the current ethnic conflict through peaceful means—a negotiated settlement that is fair, just and equitable and which would satisfy the political aspirations of the Tamil people. In addition we request the House to forward this petition directly to the President of Sri Lanka.

by Mr Murphy (from 400 citizens).
