An excerpt, but please read it all.
I really don't understand why this Family have been so vilified by Government, especially when the Biloela Community want them there.The four-year-old daughter of Tamil asylum seekers who settled in Biloela has lost her last ditch bid to apply for a protection in the High Court of Australia.
The court on Thursday morning refused a special leave request from Tharnicaa Murugappan’s lawyers to hear the case.
Her lawyers were set to challenge a law stating she cannot apply for a visa unless the Federal Immigration Minister exercises his discretion to allow it. The judgment was not a ruling on the family’s refugee status.
The Murugappan family have been fighting a three-year legal battle to remain in Australia since they were removed from their central Queensland home in 2018.
Following the High Court decision, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk threw her support behind the Murugappan family’s bid to “come home”.
“They live in Biloela and I believe they should go home to Biloela,” she said.
