Could the Biloela Tamil family finally be on their way home?
Manage episode 329595534 series 2664539
Asylum seekers Priya and Nades came to Australia separately by boat from Sri Lanka a decade ago. They met in detention and were given bridging visas before moving to Biloela, a small town in central Queensland. They worked there, their two daughters were born there, and they became much loved members of the community.
But when their bridging visas ran out in 2018, they were removed by border force and sent to Christmas Island detention centre - sparking huge protests. Angela Fredericks is a friend and advocate who has campaigned tirelessly to have the family returned to Biloela.
The ALP repeatedly promised it would clear the way for the family to return home if it won the federal election. So what’s the future look like for Priya, Nades, Kopika and Tharnicaa?
