A judge has extended the injunction preventing the removal of the Biloela Tamil family from Australia until 4pm Thursday

"This all turns on whether there was a power to remove ... because there was a statutory process still in place".

Mr Aleksov also argued if the family was deported, it was a situation of"literally life or death", but conceded there was no evidence before the court about the risk of serious harm in Sri Lanka. The family had settled in the Queensland township of Biloela before being taken into detention, with Tharunicaa's parents and sister already refused refugee status in Australia.

Tamil Refugee Council spokesman Aran Mylvaganam said he had spoken to Priya and Nades from Christmas Island overnight, when they relayed their jail-like conditions, surrounded by guards. "The circle of guards have been ordered by Australian Border Force to capture every moment of their stay there on video," he told AAP on Wednesday.On 7 September, Justice Bromberg extended an injunction until 4pm on Wednesday, preventing the government from deporting the family, which also includes four-year-old sister Kopika.

Wrong wrong wrong

Bye bye

They have an extended family in Sri Lanka who love them & all have a future in Sri Lanka. Can assist their country.

A two year old cannot give consent, cannot make any legal contract, on passport of parents, is under guardianship of parents. Children cannot do anything legally without agency of a legal guardian, in this case parents. It would be evil to strip these people of parental rights.

More wasted oxygen and news space

Shame it’s not 4pm Thursday in a thousand years time. :(

All this wasted money on foreigners

It really be best if they were sent home, best for the family too. Follow the rules, maybe try again later. Morrison and team have this one spot on. Goodluck to the family.
