A candlelight vigil in the Central Highlands will go ahead for the Tamil family to mark what organisers are coining “three long years” in detention.
A post on the “#HomeToBilo Biloela Dawn to Dusk vigil” Facebook page detailed the vigil and the inspiration behind its organisation.
“Friday 5th March will mark three long years since Border Force snatched Priya, Nades and their two little Queensland-born girls from their Biloela home at dawn, bundling them into cars and locking them away in detention,” the statement read.
“Unless our politicians step in, this beautiful family will have spent 1,095 days in detention, away from the QLD town where they are loved and wanted.”

Tamil family remains in detention after high court decision

The Australian Full Federal Court has reached a decision on the youngest member of the Biloela Tamil family, who have been in detention on Christmas Island for more than 1000 days.
The previous decision relating to the immigration status of the youngest Tamil family member, three-year-old Tharnicaa, was upheld - meaning their fight to return home continues.
The Tamil family, consisting of Priya and Nades Murugappan and their Australian-born daughters Kopika, 5, and Tharunicaa, 3, had been living in Biloela when they were transferred to a Melbourne detention centre by immigration officials in 2018.
The family remained in a Christmas Island detention centre following a last minute ruling on an attempt to deport them to Sri Lanka.

Government Appeal Rejected in Biloela Case

Tamil Family Considering High Court Appeal as Federal Court Upholds Ruling on Daughter’s Visa
A Tamil family, who have seen their appeal to lift a bar on their youngest daughter applying for an Australia visa knocked back, has said they will appeal the court decision as the parents continue efforts to remain in the country after the parents arrived as illegal maritime immigrants in 2012 and 2013 and had two children.
Priya and Nades Murugappan and Australian-born daughters Kopika and Tharnicaa, five and three, have been living together in housing on Christmas Island since August 2019 after an urgent injunction put a hold on their deportation as they sought a visa for Tharnicaa.

'Enough is enough': Tamil family advocate speaks out

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.
