Last Friday, a Federal Court judge asked government lawyers to work with our Biloela family’s legal team to find a way forward within seven days. That’s tomorrow - Priya’s birthday.

Our petition has almost reached 300,000 signatures. Today, can you e-mail our petition to 5 friends - or share it online?

The judge found that QLD-born Tharunicaa was denied ‘procedural fairness’ by immigration officials.

This is a positive step for our beautiful family, who are still trapped on Christmas Island, 5000km from their Biloela home.

But the courts can’t bring Priya, Nades and the girls home to Biloela - only immigration officials and politicians can do that.

Please, can you give my friend Priya a sign of hope on her birthday by helping this petition reach 300,000 signatures? You can share it by tapping or clicking here.

The judge found that Immigration Minister David Coleman had decided to consider allowing Tharunicaa and her family to seek safety here in Australia in May 2019.

The news that Minister Coleman considered allowing our family to seek safety in Australia shows the power of all of your amazing phone calls, letters and e-mails to MPs, Senators, Ministers - and even the Prime Minister.

Right now, Minister Coleman is on indefinite leave for personal reasons. But under Australian law, Acting Immigration Minister Alan Tudge or Minister Dutton have the power to bring our family home to Bilo with the stroke of a pen.

That’s why today, I’m asking for your help to share this petition with your friends and help me grow this beautiful community of support for our Biloela family.

Our family are still trapped in detention on Christmas Island - but with your help, I believe we can bring Priya, Nades, Kopika and Tharunicaa safely home to Biloela, where they belong.

With hope,

Angela
