Tamil asylum seeker family to return to Biloela after Labor win

The Tamil asylum seeker family who had been fighting to return to the Queensland town of Biloela have reacted with “happy tears” at the election result as Labor had promised they could go home.

In contrast, Scott Morrison had ruled out intervening in the case of Priya and Nadesalingam Murugappan and their two Australian-born daughters, saying to do so would effectively give a green light to people smugglers and “the carnage at sea”.

A statement from Angela Fredericks, of the Home To Bilo campaign, said the family were overjoyed by the election result due to what it means for them.

“Mr Albanese has promised to allow our friends Priya, Nades and their girls Kopi and Tharni to return home to Biloela,” she said.

“We just called Priya in Perth and told her she and her family were coming home.

I knew this all along.  Labor has matched Liberals on cruelty for votes, but they don't ENJOY it. This is the case that made a lot of people sympathetic to refugees, a massive misstep I think

What possible benefit is it to him to torture a couple and two young girls for not being white? You know how much money this country has wasted on killing refugees? It would have been cheaper to give them all a million bucks and a house in Sydney

Dutton
proved himself to lacking any political savvy - let alone moral fibre - to hold this family up as an example of
"illegal refugees"
(yes, I'm AWARE those words make NO sense)
then talk up what a brilliant job he was doing with "border control" and his own interpretation of the
UN Convention on Refugees
(of which Australia is a signatory)


You couldn't have picked a more perfect and assimilated family for permanent settlement in this country - as the vast majority of Australians indicated in opinion polling

And THIS is the
morally bankrupt clown
being touted as
the new leader
?

Supporters of a central Queensland Tamil asylum seeker family say they are hopeful the family are just weeks away from returning home.

Labor promised during the campaign that if it won the election the Nadesalingam family would be allowed to return home to Biloela.

Family friend Angela Fredericks said there was "so much relief" among the Home2Bilo campaigners after Labor's election win.

"I honestly don't think I can find the words to explain it," Ms Fredericks said.

"There is so much excitement, so much relief and exuberance. It has all been worth it.

Hope that happens!

What a colossal waste of money and lousy PR for Australia this has been. No wonder so many teal independents won seats off Libs.

Australians are ALWAYS sympathetic to refugees - once you put a face, a name and a backstory to them
This is the reason ALL governments have kept these details behind a shroud of secrecy

I equate this to the thousands of dogs and cats euthanized in pounds - because no one wants them
But give them a name - a bit of their history - and a picture in the newspaper, they're offered a new home in hours

I KNOW, it's a SHAMEFUL analogy to draw - but unwanted human beings are treated exactly the same as unwanted cats and dogs, in this country

Tamil asylum seeker family cleared to return home to Biloela on bridging visas, Acting Home Affairs Minister says

Supporters, friends and advocates said the decision was difficult to process.

"It is just such an immense shock that this is finally happening. And as we've said from the get-go, love will win," Ms Fredericks said.

"I think I'm not going to believe it until their feet are on the ground here in Biloela and they're in my arms and I know that they're never going to go anywhere again unless they want to travel."

Indeed.  A society that doesn't torture children in order to score cheap political points.
