On Friday, it will be exactly three years since guards snatched Priya, Nades and the QLD-born girls from their Biloela home at dawn.

Please, will you chip in to help put up massive billboards around Australia and tell Prime Minister Morrison that three years is enough?

In March 2018, when immigration guards snatched my friend Priya, her husband Nades and their girls from their Biloela home, Kopika was only two. Her little sister, Tharnicaa, was a nine-month-old baby. Soon, they’ll be turning six and four.

As of this Friday, these little Queenslanders will have spent three years of their short lives in detention - first in Melbourne and now on Christmas Island, 5,000km from their Biloela home.

Mr Morrison wasn’t yet Prime Minister when this family was taken from Biloela. But unless his Ministers step in to bring this family home now, this cruel milestone will pass on his watch.

I need to send Mr Morrison a message that can’t be ignored - can you help by chipping in now?

Over the last three years, Australians of all beliefs and backgrounds - from broadcaster Alan Jones to former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce - have asked the Ministers to step in.

Recently, I learned that politicians who have written to the Minister about our family include former PM Tony Abbott, Deputy PM Michael McCormack, former Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and Operation Sovereign Borders Special Envoy, Senator Jim Molan. 

In the time Kopi and Tharni have been detained, four different Ministers have held the power to bring this family home with the stroke of a pen. But I believe new Immigration Minister Alex Hawke will only step in to help with the blessing of his Prime Minister.

That’s why I’m asking you to help me tell Mr Morrison he can bring Kopi, Tharni and their loving Mum and Dad home to Biloela, where they are wanted and welcome.

All Mr Morrison needs to do is ask Minister Hawke to look at the advice of his own Department, which recommended granting a visa to allow this much-loved family to leave detention almost two years ago.

With so many Australians standing ready to celebrate the return of this family to Biloela, this should be an easy call for Mr Morrison.

In hope,

Angela
