Ask the people of Biloela and let THEM decide how many they want to take!
Yuyutsu,
I just did ! I'm waiting for their response & yours regarding your willingness to make monthly instalment to support the thousands who would follow if that particular loophole isn't closed !
Haven't you ever heard of "give an inch & they'll take a mile" ?
I have stated many times that do-gooders should engage in the prevention of refugee-creating rather than expecting/demanding others to foot the bill !

Dear Individual,

You completely evade the topic.

It has nothing to do with refugees.
The fact that this family historically applied to arrive as refugees is now irrelevant. The people of Biloela want them regardless.

It has nothing to do with funds.
This family can fund itself, or alternately there are hundreds of thousands in Australia who are happy to support them.

It is not even about immigration to Australia as such.
If the Canberra regime wants, they could just not allow them to stay anywhere else in Australia except Biloela.

It is all about the people of Biloela who want a particular family to live with them and the central Canberra government wanting to show them "who is the boss" and refusing to let them make their own choices which affect their lives.

Yuyutsu,
You're missing the point. Re-read your own & then my statements. You might think that is what the people of Biloela want and, maybe they do. The point here is not this family nor the kind people of Biloela, the problem are the problems that will arise if they get to stay here. The parents of these children have mis-calculated in their tactic to by-pass loopholes & the Govt. has a duty & responsibility and, most Australians expect the Govt. to not let this situation arise again.
It is good to know that there are still people with compassion however, when compassion is misplaced & can bring about irreversible future social & economic problems then it is wise to thin k past today's feeling good.
I ask again, would the people of Biloela be prepared to take in many more families & harbour them ?

ttbn said- Kick them out as soon as the child recovers. See my post below for the reasons. Australia must not compromise its immigration laws, or the 'boat people' nonsense will start again. These people have no right to be in Australia.

Answer- No- Kick them out as soon as the child is stable- send an Army nurse or doctor with them if necessary and pass them to a hospital back home.

These people seem to be supported by traitorous often communist groups in Australia seeking to subvert and destroy Australia. The government needs to act quickly on these issues. My view is that the government can't allow the courts to hold the government hostage to subversive demands. This could be a problem in a country that supports the principle of separation of powers- yet the government does have executive powers.

The emergency situation created by massive numbers of "claimed refugees" influx warrants emergency security powers to remove them. Even if the arrivals are refugees the Australian people have the natural right to control their territory from outside pressures.

Allow the people of a country town in Queensland to decide on whether or not illegal immigrants get to stay in Australia? It doesn't get more stupid than that. Anyhow, if a vote was taken (a secret vote), how many of the 5,700 citizens Biloela would vote yes? We don't know.

I grew up in a country town, and I can tell you that such places are run by a very few people. And its a very few people who are making all the noise over these illegals. Country towns are places where everyone knows everyone else, and they are mostly too frightened to express opinions that they think might make the loudmouths turn against them, ostracise them, or do something to affect their businesses or employment.

But, what the citizens of Biloela might or might not think, the Tamils came here illegally. They should have been returned home long ago.

They should have been returned home long ago.
ttbn,
People are blaming the Govt. for inaction but if I remember correctly it was the High or some other Court that over-ruled the Govt. who wanted to deport them years ago.
