Refugee was never on Tampa

Letter to the Editor - Sydney Morning Herald
11 September 2003

Dear Sir/Madam

Contrary to numerous media reports the man quoted in a number of press stories, including your article 'Nauru unbearable, says Tampa man' (Thursday 11 September) was never on the Tampa, he arrived on a boat a number of weeks after the Tampa.

Yours sincerely,

Stewart Foster
