Greens leader Richard Di Natale has lashed out at the government for attempting to deport a Biloela family, telling Sky News that Australia was “the only place [the two children have] ever known'.

Greens leader Richard Di Natale has lashed out at the government for attempting to deport a Biloela family, saying Australia was “the only place [the two children have] ever known". Priya, Nadesalingam and their Australian-born children four-year-old Kopika and two-year-old Tharunicaa were taken to Christmas Island after an 11th hour injunction stopped them from being deported.

“They came here, started a life, they were welcomed with open arms by a community in regional Australia who opened their hearts while the government had turned their backs on them,” Di Natale told Sky News Australia. “We know the situation in Sri Lanka is very volatile,” the Greens leader said. “We know that these are people that witnessed extreme brutality in the midst of an ongoing civil war.

U poor man - clueless

Children will fit in well in Sri Lanka. Many children come here only knowing other countries. Does he think we should not accept them.

You mean that the Government, elected by voters, kept its campaign promises to secure Australia’s borders and sovereignty against law breaking queue jumping lying economic opportunists. Fixed it for you. Easy.

Lost the Plot -big time!-Grow up-Please!

what a lot of crap ,,

He's getting lectures from Europe is he

Richard Di Natale wanted ISIS Fighters to be allowed to return to Australia. He shouldn't be taken seriously on anything. This Tamil Family faces no persecution in Sri Lanka. They came to Australia illegally by boat. The Father also has went back to Sri Lanka 3 separate times.

Mr Anti-Australia/Anti-Australians. A shame we can't send him to Sri Lanka with the illegal immigrants.

Who give a F for what this fool says.

I agree with Richard on this one.

It is laughable that a party such as the Greens will bemoan the circumstances of this case yet freely choose to support through abortion the murder of children in the womb.

So not RDN wants to ignore the ruling of the high court? Same bloke to criticised Blot for questing court rulings now wants to ignore court rulings himself. What a knob you are RDN

Fill er’ up RichardDiNatale

If only his dad had a condom on

de nut

What a waste of a political position.

Can we deport him instead ?

hypocrites shed a tear for the poorest Australian's kicked out on the street for Albanese labors fake medivac bill Poorest Australians homeless because labors fake medivac

The Gteens are Evil

RichardDiNatale forgetting about the Greens ignoring AustralianLabor sending Sri Lankans back

you let them stay it opens the flood gates how many more out there illegally here just shut the gates no more

de nut

Bleeding heart.

Crocodile tears

Get stuffed.

Is this guy still in politics? Tree hugger

Keep up good, Globalist work Dick! Don’t let facts, commonsense, logic or Australia's National Interests deter you!

Blame their father idiot, he keeps returning to a nation he claims.his life is in direct threat, like ALOT if the Muslims we took in.

Cry me a river

Blame the parents for bringing this on their children. Put it where it belongs

That’s irrelevant.

Poor man, Di Natale, it must be awful to live life permanently angry!

Lash ‘em latte, lash ‘em!

Just realised who Di Natale is. Its the Neil TV character from The Young Ones.....just with a haircut.

Maybe it's time he lashed out at himself and the rest of the greens for their ineptitude and lack of caring for their own country. All they care about is keeping the UN happy and making a stand for all the lies and corruption going on.

Can we deport Richard Di Natalie too? Do Australia a favour

Open borders RichardDiNatale wants to bring 50,000+ refos to Oz each year ‘cos he’s more “compassionate” & moral than the Libs, so there. Last time he supported policies that allowed 50,000 ppl to arrive on 800 boats, 1200 drowned, 8000 kids detained

Be quiet Di Natale! You and your Greens friends will ruin Australia

The Greens, are above the law? Are they?

Green got no policy. Green is also too enotional in their judgement. Not the type of political party for which we can hold high in value

Well he can support them he has the money...

Tough, The law is the law and if we break it for one family we open the floodgates

Does Natale have a solution for the legal precedent that letting them stay would cause? Nice caring family of course. But they had kids knowing they had already been rejected which looks like an attempt to use children as pawns. If allowed everyone would have kids to stay in Oz!

this dinatters has offered to pay all costs & charges of all fake refugees & has at his own property a tent farm waiting to house them all, only his own personal bathroom for all to use, good one greenies solves all the world's problems in one go

Funny how our government kicks out these people who are working, good members of the community, well adjusted.. and instead let in criminals...

Send all country shoppers home. One rule for all.

He doesn't want to deport anyone though.
