A family separated for almost four months by Australia's border closures say an email bungle by the Department of Home Affairs has delivered yet another cruel blow. 9News

"I called my wife and kids and told them they are coming home and they were so excited. I was starting to check for tickets," he said.

"Please disregard the email sent to you by the Department of Home Affairs… the wrong advice was inadvertently sent to you. The Department apologises for this error and the inconvenience caused," the second email reads. "One moment we don't pose a threat, next moment we're a threat…they're playing with our emotions, with our lives," Ms Usman wrote on Facebook."Every day from Pakistan, all the permanent residents are starting to fly back to Australia because some of the international flights have been resumed from Pakistan. Why are they not considered a threat but my wife and children are?" he said.

Adding to the family's desperation, Mr Ghori said, was the fact that their skilled visa was due to expire in just nine days' time. "Why are you blocking parents from being reunited with their young children. Why are you tearing families and their lives apart?

Wtf. How is this ok? ABF is planning with people’s lives. Is this real life?

Dual nationals and PR in Australia wanting to see family overseas are being told over and over again that the reason to be with family is not worthy of an exemption. ScottMorrisonMP ’s authoritarian government needs to be held accountable!

Please reunite separated families ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

LuceC92 NickMcKim SBSNews AusHumanRights BBCWorld AlJazeera_World cnni Hi ! There are million more heartbreaking stories, there are many Facebook and whatsapp group for the people who are effected. Please join this groups.. you’ll know the degree of injustice. I’ll connect you.

LuceC92 My daughter's are also separated with her dad ..my husband is in Sydney and me and daughters are stuck in India .my younger one is completed her 5 th months and didn't meet her father still.god now's when my little princess will meet her dad and when my husband see her.

That’s unfair.. People with compelling reasons should be able to come back into the country.

Nothing drums up sympathy like an image of a child.

I’ve been apart from my partner for 7 months. All we want is to be allowed to leave Australia and join our partners, fiancés, spouses overseas Please let us out!!!!!!!

So many of us are separated from our partners and kids who are outside of Australia and we’re banned from leaving, while the government talks of letting foreign students and business travellers into the country!!!! We just want to be let out!

I hope you’ll allow people who wants to visit their love one’s. Who are willing to undergo in 14 day quarantine and pay their own hotel bills . It’s been so hard not to be with them and it’s more harder to think every day when will you see them again 😔

Thats very sad, these type of matters should solve on priority 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Lots of people are in the same boat, even within Australia.

Meanwhile Australian men and woman who work FIFO were kept on site for 4 months and counting to reduce covid risk. These people also have families and are in their own state and couldn’t get home due to workplace policy. We’re all making sacrifices one way or another.

That's what happened ifcu don't get PR from pakistan and then migrate to Australia. I'm sure ghori knows the reality
