Thank you so much to Emily McPherson at 9News for mentioning this petition and interviewing myself and Nicola as part of her article "Stuck in Limbo"

This media attention has brought together even more of us who are suffering from being unable to return to our lives in Australia - we are now fighting through these issues together.

Scott Morrison and Peter Dutton still fail to even address us in any press conference and we wake up each and every day unsure where we stand. Yes this is testing on our mental health but how do we deal with this? We don't give up. We don't wait for the borders to open for everyone. We don't take 'stay where you are' for an answer ... we keep fighting!

I've sent this petition to the PM and many other politicians, unions, philanthropists, activists and journalists alike. And I'll keep sending it every time we hit another signature milestone. This isn't over until we're home, safe, and back to our lives in Australia!

8,000 of you have already signed and are behind us - Thank you all for your support.
