I wish to provide some additional information in response to a question I received from Senator Back. I can confirm that the LTTE, otherwise known as the Tamil Tigers, has been listed under Australian law for a number of years now for asset-freezing purposes under the Charter of the United Nations Act. As I understand it, that makes it a criminal offence for any person to make assets available to the LTTE. That was a change made under the previous government.
