Yesterday, new Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews revealed that she has been given a “high-level briefing” on our Biloela family. She has requested a full written briefing to “look at the facts”.
On 24th May, it will be two years since the Department of Home Affairs recommended that the then Immigration Minister consider granting Priya, Nades, Kopika and Tharnicaa “a substantive visa to remain in Australia.”
Ms Andrews is now the 5th politician to be handed the power to bring Priya, Nades and their QLD-born girls home to Biloela with the simple stroke of a pen.
With Kopika and Tharnicaa’s 6th and 4th birthdays fast approaching, Ms Andrews can be the Minister to end this unhappy game of “pass the parcel” and bring these little Queenslanders home to Biloela, where they are welcome and wanted.
All Priya and Nades want to do is bring their QLD-born girls home to resume their quiet, peaceful life in Biloela. And politicians of all beliefs and backgrounds have backed them.
Liberal National Member for Flynn Ken O’Dowd said: “I think they should stay”. Former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce said: “The people of Biloela seem to be pretty enthused about keeping this family there. I think we should also be listening to them.”
Even Liberal Senator Jim Molan, co-designer of Operation Sovereign Borders, has said: “I hope that your good family … comes back to Biloela.”
Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack, former Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and former Prime Minister Tony Abbott all joined Mr Joyce and Senator Molan in writing to the former Immigration Minister about our Biloela family.
That’s how I know that your respectful e-mails, phone calls and letters make a difference.
Right now, Shadow Home Affairs Minister Kristina Keneally is on Christmas Island visiting Priya, Nades and the girls. Last week, Senator Kenneally told ABC radio that if she were Minister, she would bring this family home to Biloela.
But every day of detention is hurting our precious Biloela “cockatoos”, Kopi and Tharni. They can’t wait for an election that could come as late as 5 March next year - four years to the day since they were taken from their Biloela home.
That’s why we need to reach out to our government MPs and Senators today. Tap here to find the facts on our Biloela family.
For everything you are doing to bring Priya, Nades and the girls home to Biloela - thank you.
With hope,
Angela
