Tamil family granted two more days in last-ditch legal bid to stay in Australia

About 70 protesters gathered outside the court on Wednesday to call for the government to intervene and return the family to their home in Biloela.

The courts have rejected previous asylum applications from the father, mother and eldest daughter, butLabor leader Anthony Albanese has travelled to the Queensland town of Biloela to galvanise community support and try to heighten pressure on the Morrison government to halt the deportation of the Tamil family to Sri Lanka.

A last-minute injunction delivered over the phone last Thursday night stopped the government from deporting the family. The injunction only barred the government from removing the family until last Friday afternoon, but it has been repeatedly extended for the two-year-old girl.The family's case is resting on Tharunicaa's claim because she was not born when her mother's asylum request was made in late 2016.

Priya has said she witnessed her fiance and five other men from her village burned alive before she fled.

rent a crowd. go and get a job

stop frigging around , send them home to sri Lanka now where they belong. we must have strong governance on these illegals.

8th time is a charm,

raywilton4 Keep going peeps-those if us who can’t be there cheering you on. 👏

Other reporters are saying ‘60 people’ including paid employees of the Trades Hall Council & other NGO’s. Would you perhaps concede ‘crowds are gathering’ is a bit of a stretch? How about ‘a group of supporters has gathered’?

Has this been sorted out; is it part of the reason they are not allowed to stay.

And what of the thousands of other families we don’t hear about? The media is repulsive!

If only people put this much passion on the plight of the Aussie homeless we can make a difference. Follow rules and laws of the land. Full stop.

Their lawyer has used them knowing that the case is highly unlikely to succeed . Dubious ethics to drag people along & waste court time after 7 hearings already failed

Stop bending our laws to satisfy fringe activists
