Immigration Minister Alex Hawke is close to a final decision on whether to intervene in a long-running court dispute over the family’s claims, with Liberals and Nationals asking him to let them rejoin the community.

Independent MP Helen Haines, who represents Indi in northern Victoria, said she was alarmed, as a former nurse, at the evacuation of the youngest daughter to Perth and believed the family should be settled in Australia.

Mr Hawke is considering a legal brief estimated to be about 1000 pages long including advice from the Department of Home Affairs as well as court documents and a submission from the family’s lawyers. But many Liberals believe the outcome should be left to the courts because of the risk of setting a precedent that encourages asylum seeker arrivals.

“I think it’s fair to say that [court decision] took it out of the hands of the politicians and put it into the hands of the High Court of Australia,” Mr Entsch said.

It’s truly shameful for what has and is being done

They should have never been able to get into Australia if they aren't legally entitled to stay in Australia.

Australian children abused sexually assaulted going hungry what's wrong won't sell enough papers or the pollies can't use as they use the children as pawns for self interest All the focus on one family imagine how many Aussies kids would be helped if they had as much coverage

Sorry. While I do feel for them - why didn’t they just go home? TWICE they were on the plane to Sri Lanka and their lawyers “stopped the plane”. This is totally self-inflicted pain.
