Our Biloela family are trapped in detention on Christmas Island. Now, Scott Morrison is turning the island into a coronavirus quarantine centre.

Please - can you ring a Senator today and insist that Priya, Nades and the girls are repatriated to Biloela now, while there is still time?

Yesterday, Priya was in tears telling me how scared she is. She has diabetes and could be at increased risk if she caught the virus. But all she can think about is the safety of her two little Queensland-born girls.

Right now, our beautiful family is being held in an ageing demountable cabin in the “Construction Camp” detention facility, away from the main detention centre.

But yesterday, Prime Minister Morrison said that “defence forces have been tasked to identify overflow facilities where that may be necessary”. And a Christmas Island community leader says that if quarantine numbers swell, they may need to use the facility where our family is being held.

Today, I urgently need your help to encourage our elected representatives to repatriate this family to Biloela now, before Christmas Island becomes a quarantine centre.

Since Priya and her family were snatched from the Biloela home almost two years ago, the detention centre operators have repeatedly put this beautiful family’s health and safety at risk.

When they were detained in Melbourne, Priya’s daughters, Kopika and Tharunicaa, suffered severe vitamin deficiencies after being denied adequate sunlight and fresh food.

Then, when two-year-old Tharunicaa vomited after being hit on the head by a heavy whiteboard, it took five hours before a detention centre manager let her go to hospital.

Yesterday, I reassured Priya by telling her that I will do everything I can to keep her family safe. Can you help me in this task by picking up the phone today?

You can find the right number to call in seconds on our action page, where there are talking points to guide you.

Forever grateful,

Angela
