For four years, Priya and Nades lived quiet lives in Biloela, a QLD town that needs new families to keep local services running.

Nades worked hard at the local meatworks. Priya took her curries up to doctors at the local hospital.

Then Border Force took Priya, Nades and their QLD-born girls away, detaining them in Melbourne before forcing them to Christmas Island, where 3 year old Tharni got so sick she had to be airlifted to Perth.

Biloela wants this family back - but there's every danger Scott Morrison will force them to danger after the election.

E-mail your Senators

Ministers Alex Hawke and Karen Andrews are stopping Priya, Nades and the girls from coming home to Biloela by withholding a visa from four-year-old Tharni - despite giving one to her sister, Mum and Dad. Please write a polite e-mail in your own words in the box below, asking your Senators to help get this family home to Biloelan now.

Deputy PM Barnaby Joyce and government MPs Ken O'Dowd, Trent Zimmerman, Jason Falinski, Bridget Archer and Dr Katie Allen have all called on the Ministers to bring Priya, Nades and the girls home to Biloela - now it's time for government Senators to speak up.

NB this is not a petition - please don't hit 'send my e-mail' until you have written your e-mail.
