Biloela family returns home after four-year immigration battle – video

A Tamil family who were taken from their Queensland home by Australian immigration officials four years ago have arrived back in Biloela to an emotional reception. Nades and Priya Nadesalingam and their daughters, Kopika and Tharnicaa, were greeted by cheering supporters at Thangool airport, near Biloela. The couple arrived in Australia a decade ago as asylum seekers and their daughters were born in Australia. They had been in detention for four years after border force officers stormed their home on 5 March 2018. Officials took the family to a Melbourne immigration detention centre, and they were later sent to Christmas Island as a legal battle over their future raged. The family were issued with bridging visas by the newly elected Labor party government in late May
