On the back of its decision that 5 Sri Lankan refugees should be refused entry into Australia because they "pose a risk to national security", ASIO needs to explain on what grounds this decision was made - at the very least to the people about which the decision was made or to the people representing them.  If the decision was made based on information provided by the Sri Lankan Government (the government from whom these people are seeking asylum) then surely there are grounds for this decision to be overturned by the Australian Government.
