Supporters of a Tamil asylum-seeker family removed from Biloela in central Queensland almost four years ago welcome a court ruling that means family members can reapply for visas.

Supporters of a Tamil asylum-seeker family removed from Biloela in central Queensland almost four years ago have welcomed a court ruling which means family members can apply for new bridging visas.

Carina Ford, lawyer for the Nadesalingam family, said the court based its decision on two reasons — one was that a submission that had been given to the department had not been taken into account.

This family is no threat to Australia and have proven to be very good citizens while living in the community. They deserve to be allowed to stay. We all know who the minister was who treated them unfairly and I want to see him lose his seat at the next election...just ugly!

You'd think Hawke and Morrison would do a cost-benefit analysis of the issue, and realise letting them return to Biloela will not cost LNP any votes.

So... due to a Federal Government stuff up of their own rules, the Feds have wasted up to $50 million on performative toughness.

god loves yall! this is god news

barriecassidy The party of Bigots currently in control will surely appeal.

The only big news out of that would be if Alex Hawke actually accepted he, & his Government had wrongfully persecuted this family and returned them to Biloela, where a Community is waiting to receive them with open arms...unless that happens...there is no 'really big win'!

barriecassidy Good !

We dont have the right to dictate to other Countries about Human Rights when AlexHawkeMP & ScottMorrisonMP are torturing this family. Bloody hypocrites. This should be an election issue AlboMP . If u win the next election please put a stop to this act of bullying.

Thats fantastic news.

End this bullsh!t now ..

barriecassidy Send them to Biloela - it has been the right thing to do since the wrong thing tore them out of there in a sickening pre- dawn raid for no purpose 💕

Another original Dutton policy shot down, another of his cheek is given a tight slap.

Females and males should be separated in detention.
