"Prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe says former president agreed to
help stop boats carrying asylum seekers if Australian government kept quiet"

The danger of doing deals like this is of course that governments can
change, and may not wish to keep the secrets of the previous
administration.  Via Glenn Murray.
