“We’re terrified that Mr Morrison is waiting until after the election to force this family to danger, because he tried to do that after the last election. What is it going to take for Mr Morrison to simply let this family come home to Bilo, where they are welcome, wanted and needed?”

There were loud cheers from the audience when Bronwyn asked the Q+A panel this question at the Gladstone Entertainment Centre last night - and more cheers when QLD Senator Murray Watt confirmed Labor’s commitment to bringing this family safely home to Biloela.

But we can’t gamble this family’s future on an unpredictable election - today, please send a quick e-mail telling Mr Morrison’s candidate for your area that our Biloela family will be at the top of your mind when you cast your vote on May 21.

Last night wasn’t the first time Priya and Nades' friends have had to go on live TV to try and get an answer. Four years ago, Margot and Marie travelled from Biloela to Sydney to ask the Q+A panel what more they could do to bring them home to Biloela.

Senator Molan is the co-designer of “Operation Sovereign Borders”. Even he said he hoped our “good family” would come back to Biloela.

He thanked Margot and Marie for “looking after them”. He promised to speak to the Immigration Minister. But nothing was done.

Please, will you take action now and e-mail the coalition candidate for your local area now? Tell them, respectfully, that this family’s safety will be a decisive factor when you cast your vote.

A growing number of independent candidates, including Allegra Spender (Wentworth), Dr Monique Ryan (Kooyong), Zoe Daniel (Goldstein) and Kylea Tink (North Sydney) have also backed the call to bring Priya, Nades, Kopi and Tharni safely home to Biloela.

It is just before elections, when candidates are seeking votes, that our voices are most powerful. I hear some people saying Mr Morrison is waiting until closer to the election to bring them home to Biloela.

But unless we speak up to get this family safely home to Biloela now, there is every danger Mr Morrison will force Priya, Nades, Kopi and Tharni to danger after the election.

Please contact the coalition candidate for your area today, even if you’ve e-mailed many times before. You can find out who to e-mail in seconds by entering your postcode on our action page.

For everything you do to help get Priya, Nades, Kopi and Tharni safely #HometoBilo - thank you.

With hope,

Angela
