Ms Dendle said Tamil family support groups and individual advocates had maintained contact with the family, letting them know how much they cared about and supported them. We have also spent time contacting our local member to let them know that what we would like them to do is grant them special consideration for this family, she said. We have always encouraged all of the family s supporters to have the courage to speak up to their local members and let them know that what is happening to the family is not right. Ms Dendle said Tamil family supporters continued to hope and pray that Minister for Home Affairs Peter Dutton and Immigration Minister Alex Hawke would have some common sense.

Penalty for Kimberly-Clark for false claims flushable wipes were made in Australia
The Federal Court has ordered Kimberly-Clark Australia Pty Ltd to pay a penalty of $200,000 for misleading consumers by falsely representing on its website that its Kleenex Cottonelle ‘flushable cleansing cloths’ were made in Australia, when they were actually made in Germany, South Korea or the UK.
The false representations were made on the product website between 28 October 2015 and 24 February 2016, while the product packaging contained the correct information about where the wipes were made.
In June 2019, the Federal Court had found that Kimberly-Clark made false or misleading representations that the products were Australian made after Kimberly-Clark admitted this during the court case.
