Biloela town ready to welcome Tamil family

It has taken four long years for a Tamil family seeking asylum in Queensland to finally return home in Biloela.

After a highly publicised battle and a small outback community's tireless efforts – a newly elected government has intervened.

Here we go again ...Open Borders Begin. Well Done Australia

[lazyhunk]

thanks Australia. my whole village in south Asia will be soon leaving for Australia. we expect financial support during our stay.

[TriStarIII]

War torn Sri Lanka? The country has a pop of 22 mln what about everyone else?
Completely unsustainable

[frdfalcn]

Come and live in Melbourne, you will want to go back to Sri Lanka….

[JewishMarine]

Just what Australia needs, more Indians.

This has piqued the interest of people smuggling operations in Indonesia.

They will get a paid interview next bet ya !. They had babies to stay and it worked well done !!. Maybe Labor will offer reproductive medicine to detention seekers next 🤔.

[mawsoncasey]

Finally being able to legally bludge off of Aussie taxpayers ! They could have gone back to their own country at any point, they chose detention.

Nice photo, I bet u won’t see one of him hard at work

[JohnWilliams-iwoq]

Morrison got this one wrong, the people are of good character and have lived here as part of a community which means they should be allowed to stay. The danger is the people smugglers, they will see this as weakness and try hard to land people on our shores. Send them back to Indonesia, send them back to their homeland but not one of them can ever be allowed to call Australia home until they come via the correct channels.

Actually, if they are given a residence permit in Australia later, others will come as they did, this will be unfair to those who actually apply for a genuine Australian visa, this is outrageous, Albanese just wants to be a good person who is popular, but the method is wrong.

Pray for your flood victims sisters as well .... what have you done for them I wonder

[Theaddora]

I just hope the Tamil family is ready for the totalitarian changes that have occurred in this country.

[viet]

This is so misleading. The family is allowed to go back to Biloela but their refugee case is still pending.

[louminarty]

Great news. 4yrs of messing around by a heartless government, followed by 5 days of a decent government and its fixed.

This Family has obviously contributed and made every effort to start a life in Oz.The community agrees.Many others have come in Legally and not made any effort.They should stay.
