“The community want them back and they should return home to Biloela.” That's what Anthony Albanese said on last night’s Q+A - but a signature from a Morrison Government Minister could still bring them home in time for Kopika’s 7th birthday next Thursday.
Whatever happens, we won’t let Mr Morrison’s Ministers ruin Kopi’s birthday. RSVP now to join next Thursday’s online event, when we’ll hear from other candidates who’ve promised to do all they can to bring them safely #HometoBilo.
Two and half years ago, while visiting Biloela, Mr Albanese said: “It is in Australia’s national interest for this family to be restored into the community that they love.”
Back then, the story of our Biloela family was already bringing people of different beliefs and backgrounds together, with Barnaby Joyce and conservative broadcaster Alan Jones joining Mr Albanese in calling on Mr Morrison’s Ministers to bring them home to Biloela.
When locals Margot and Marie went on Q+A to ask what more we could do way back in May 2018, even Operation Sovereign Borders co-designer Senator Jim Molan said: “I hope your good family … comes back to Biloela.”
It is heartbreaking to remember that next Thursday will be Kopika’s first birthday in four years without guards watching her family’s every move.
With her family facing great danger and uncertainty as the election gets closer, we’ve invited some of the many candidates who’ve joined to call to bring them #HometoBilo to share their promise to do all they can to bring Priya, Nades, Kopi and Tharni safely home to Biloela.
Ever since they were taken from their Biloela home, we’ve never let our “Biloela cockatoos” birthdays go by without showing the love we have for their family.
With hope,
Angela
