The Biloela community has banded together to protest the deportation of a family of Asylum seekers.

 

The family of four were removed from their home in central Queensland last week by Australian Border Force officers, with their deportation understood to be imminent.

 

The local community are refusing to give up and have created an online petition fighting to prevent their deportation, which already has more than 43 000 signatures.

 

The community says the family are loving, caring and considerate and the family would “prefer to be dead than to go back.”
