Family friend Angela Fredericks said they were now waiting on a new court date to appeal the ruling, but the family is struggling, having spent the last two years in detention."Priya has also been rather down the past few weekends when we've caught up."She can see the girls suffering and there's not much within her power she can do to help them."
Biloela resident and family friend Angela Fredericks said Priya is feeling a sense of hopelessness and the young girls' mental health is suffering."In the mean time for us it's really about keeping the family's spirit going." Their current bid for asylum hinges on the case of the youngest daughter Tharunicaa, with lawyers arguing her claim for asylum had not been properly assessed.The Federal Government has maintained the status of Tharunicaa is linked to that of the rest of her family, and their bids for protection visas were denied in 2017.
"It's that first ground that's actually going to enable Tharunicaa's case to go back to the start of the process with the immigration assessment authority," she said.

They should go back to Sri Lanka.
Why so long locked away what is happening
Let them stay Dutton there just the kind of people we want here it’s the kind of people the government keep saying they want to settle here and yet Dutton is trying his best to send them away maybe Hillsong church could step and do something useful
They lied on application. No fault but their own.
Sorry “stay”!
Surely this indefinite detention and isolation qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment and in breach of our international obligations. It is bullying at its worst and Labor for one should have the guts to speak out against it.
Bring them home
Scammers that tried to get into the country illegally and have cost us millions with their scam. Kick them out asap.
Sounds like they need a good holiday. Send them here: 'Endless beaches, timeless ruins, welcoming people, oodles of elephants, rolling surf, cheap prices, fun trains, famous tea and flavourful food make Sri Lanka irresistible.'
graylinz This makes me HATE Josh Frydenburg. He’s happy to bend the rules to help his friends, but won’t bring this lovely hardworking decent family back. I hope he’s wiped out very soon. And you can read into that what you like
Why not let them dtay in Australia? Are they worse than the Chinese virus?
One has to wonder how weak their case in, in comparison to the criminals & questionable boat arrivals who get to stay. Was it because Dad returned to hus country of origin while on a bridging visa, or that they were told having kids would not change their status. auspol
An utter disgrace, this mistreatment of a young family is a stain on Australia’s soul
They made their choices. This whole saga could have ended years ago after each court case they lost.
Stop wasting time and money. There are boats and planes available to take these people back to their country. Goodbye 👋🏼
There's been no war or violence in SriLanka since 2009. What are these people claiming refuge from? Get your facts right just like the Govt. has before blindly supporting someone who is an economic refugee and opportunist. They have already sued the Govt. 200k in tax money lost
Can they not swap this family for some of the morons refusing to be covid tested in Victoria. One group is a risk to life, the other is not
That’s what you get for lying multiple times on visa applications. Stiff s**t .
They have to go back.
Queue jumper, Nothing more Nothing less Their not prisoners, They can go home anytime they like and paid for by Aust taxpayers.
Let them stay, this is the only home these girls have known and they're welcomed in their community. Please show some compassion ScottyFromHillsong
just bring them back to Bilolela! If you cant see how heartless our goverment, they have locked up, isolated, demonised and traumatised these Australian children for years. they are wanted in Bilolela, bring them back.
What risk is this family to Australia? The way this family has been treated is disgraceful. Remember peterdutton and his intervention in the visas for au pairs. This family is loved by their community. shameful
Just let them stay! They have lives here, friends, a community that loves them, and that they gave back to. Let them stay! HomeToBiloela
just go home Thery dont have war in Srilanka
Just go home.

George Floyd's family see cops face court, as judge warns of possible trial moveA Minnesota judge has warned he's likely to move the trials out of Minneapolis if public officials and attorneys don't stop talking about the case. 9News But George was a criminal why you making his a poster boy? I know who pays your wages, all good secret is safe with me. Keep feeding the sheep!!! Why is it important that the officer is white or the victim is black? Isn't that racist to describe them by race, instead of just reporting the crime? Or are we going to start reporting the race of every criminal and victim now? No care
