The sad case of the Murugappan family taken from their home in Biloela, Queensland, and detained for the past three years has dragged on for too long.
They were taken from the small town where they had lived for several years and sent, at enormous expense, to the remote Christmas Island detention facility until they exhausted their appeals against deportation.was flown to Perth and diagnosed with septicemia and pneumonia. Yet this might be a good time to make an exception. Even if their parents did enter Australia illegally, keeping children in prolonged detention is an act of cruelty and a denial of basic human rights. The mercy dash to Perth has raised serious questions about whether the young girls can be adequately cared for on Christmas Island.As former chief justice Gerard Brennan said in today’s letters column, this is a “show of heartlessness towards Australian children”.
It is unnecessary, however, to go to these lengths with the Murugappan family. It would only add to the trauma of these two Australian-born girls to send them to another country.
It is their own fault
Look at this stupid photo... purely sensationalism and a marketing ploy
Make a decision either way and end it
What part of NOT refugees does SMH not understand.
Let them stay
These are little Aussie kids we're doing this to.
So have the barrage of heart string pulling photos 😎
Fuck no, how many bodies do you want in the iNDIAN ocean?
Too long? Should never had gone on at all.
Next thing liberals will be saying Morrison saga has gone on the same and leadership battle will be called? Recently a unregular ABC Sabra interview on AM he was asked if he felt secure in his position? It may have been the 10 time Sabra name chanting day which may indicate what?
It's my portfolio and I'll do what I want !
You backed the LNP at the last election. This one's on you.
Should have been deported a long time ago yes
You reckonits its a disgrace
Problem, the family & the situation is now so high profile that any settlement in Australia will very quickly turn into highly publicized claims by large numbers f non Visa & Visa holders all seeking public sympathy to get settlement.
No wonder no one buys your rag

Where is the Biloela Tamil family's legal fight up to?Tharunicaa Murugappan's hospitalisation has again raised the plight of her family, who have been detained on Christmas Island since 2018, write Mary Anne Kenny and Nicholas Procter. If only. The Government need to stop this insanity. It serves no purpose and it’s obscene to consider it a deterrent. I don’t understand if she was born in Australia why does she need a visa. This is apart from any consideration of cruelty I am more than happy for the family to Stay in Australia. In saying that it's obvious that most Aussies don't want them to stay in Australia. The legal action needs to be stopped so the family can move to a country that wants them. 👍

Liberal MPs privately pushing for Biloela family to move to mainlandThe sudden evacuation of three-year-old Tharnicaa Murugappan to a Perth hospital has changed the politics around the exile of the Biloela family to Christmas Island. CroweDM To be clear, this couple was investigated for years & found to not be genuine refugees, they then chose to have children in detention, after being told kids would not be Australian citizens or change the determination, which they are now leveraging to try & overturn the court. CroweDM Back to Biloela CroweDM Why weren’t these LNP MPs advocating for this years ago? Very late to what is a distressing issue. I don’t trust their motivations as I suspect they are more concerned about what it means for their political welfare than the actual welfare of this poor family

Biloela family won't be resettled in US or New Zealand because they don't have refugee statusThe Home Affairs Minister has dismissed reports the family deported from Biloela in Queensland to Christmas Island could be resettled in New Zealand or the USA. Did anyone honestly believe a government that rapes, pillages and plunders were going to give this family a happy ending after locking them up for years and changing laws to deny them medical access. What about their governament? Engage with them and make answerable? send them home to sri lanka

Hundreds of Biloela Tamil family supporters brave rain to hold candlelight vigil outside Perth hospitalHundreds of supporters of the Biloela Tamil family have gathered outside Perth Children's Hospital, where the family's youngest daughter is being treated for a blood infection. How sad, if only they would consider what an insult their actions are to real registered refugees accommodated in the most appalling of conditions. The 'Biloela' family are not refugees, how can anybody pretend they are? The bleeding heart brigade, almost exclusively made up of women of a certain age that fail to understand that the parents are criminals that arrived illegally. Did the CI hospital doctor examine Tharunicaa before she was admitted to hospital on the Sunday of just go by what the IHMS doctor said? Or, despite what the department said, was the CI hospital doctor really involved before she was admitted?
