Opinion: The treatment of Biolela’s Murugappan family shows cruelty never works

Years ago, when I was working with families in trouble, there was a kind of parenting that became rather familiar.

Priya and Nades Murugappan and their Australian-born children, Tharnicaa and Kopika, in a photo taken during their court fight to remain in Australia.In a nutshell, they were parenting based on control. In both marriage and the raising of children, control is always a formula for disaster. Partners become embittered, children rebellious or crushed.

Human community depends on two aspects for its proper functioning, and our brains evolved with two modalities for that purpose. We have logic, and emotion, and they act in concert to maximise relationships working well.

At what point did it become forgotten that the family's entry into Australia had been under false pretences with the objective of deriving economic advantage?

Except when it can buy votes. Just a liberal.

Nope it show queue jumpers win

It's not cruelty. They could choose to return home to Sri Lanka anytime. It's the parents being cruel to the kids by refusing to leave.

Yet the Western government in Australia complain about the treatment of Uyghur families by the Chinese government!

Cruel? The parents tried to pay their way into our refugee intake at the expense of genuine refugees.

But in australia it does !!!

When Howard said 'We will decide who comes to this country & the circumstances in which they come.' He knew that this type of hatred & disregard for the 'other' is a vote winner in Australia. Morrison continues to do it because we reward them with our votes. BiloelaFamily

What cruelty They lied and lied and lied and broke our laws. Fact checked

Our QAnonPM doesn’t care he is being cruel to someone else’s daughters.

John Howard proved that this theory is incorrect..... it works in Australia

Biloela demands Tamil asylum seeker family be returned 'home' at moving birthday gathering for sick childSupporters of the Tamil asylum-seeker family detained on Christmas Island beg the federal government to bring 'our little family home' to the Queensland town of Biloela. Biloela people are very sweet. But for most of the war, the Tamils were the aggressors. India issued an open invitation for them to return to Tamil Nadu. More ABC victims… Would they show that much support for Brenton Tarrant? Nades held 'leadership positions' in a proscribed terrorist organisation that carried out many terror attacks including SHOOTING UP A MOSQUE AND KILLING 147 MEN AND BOYS!

Biloela Tamil family released into community detention but government says it's 'not a pathway to a visa'Immigration Minister Alex Hawke has announced the Murugappan family will reside in Perth through a community detention placement, but says the decision 'does not create a pathway to a visa'. The sneaky way in. They really should be on a pathway to a visa though, and the obvious one to use in the government’s position is ministerial discretion due to unique circumstances. Saves some face and doesn’t change the policy, much less admit that there’s anything wrong with it.

'This has gone on for too long': Split emerges within Coalition on future of Biloela familyOpinions are split within government ranks over whether a family currently detained on Christmas Island should be allowed to settle in their adopted home of Biloela. The courts have ruled against this family time and time again. Time to send them back to Sri Lanka. It really saddens me that LNP politicians have come to the party before our ABC. Internal polling must be a concern for some Liberal's. The abuse of children was not a problem for all of them last week. They all voted for the repeal of Medivac.

‘They should never have been sent’: Biloela family’s fate to be decided within daysImmigration Minister Alex Hawke is close to a final decision on whether to intervene in a long-running court dispute over the family’s claims, with Liberals and Nationals asking him to let them rejoin the community. Sad story Sorry. While I do feel for them - why didn’t they just go home? TWICE they were on the plane to Sri Lanka and their lawyers “stopped the plane”. This is totally self-inflicted pain. Australian children abused sexually assaulted going hungry what's wrong won't sell enough papers or the pollies can't use as they use the children as pawns for self interest All the focus on one family imagine how many Aussies kids would be helped if they had as much coverage
