The couple had been living and working in the town of Biloela for the last three years and were last week removed from their home at dawn by Australian Border Force officers.
The town of Biloela is refusing to give up and have garnered support for the family from across Australia, an online petition started for the family has now attracted more than 55,000 signatures.
