Tamil family to leave WA bound for Biloela

Summary by Ground News

The Nadesalingam family has said goodbye to Perth as they return to their home in central Queensland's Biloela. The Tamil asylum seekers were held on Christmas Island for two years before their then three-year-old daughter Tharnicaa, was medically evacuated to Perth. The family, whose fight to remain in Australia has captured the hearts of Australians, were put into into detention in Melbourne in March 2018 after the parents' refugee claims were refused.
