A lawyer representing the Tamil family from Biloela has slammed the Australian government’s handling of Novak Djokovic’s immigation case, outlining the double standard between the tennis player and the treatment of Asylum Seekers in Australia.
Carina Ford who represents the Murugappan family says the Djokovic case shows it would only require the stroke of a pen from Immigation Minister Alex Hawke to allow the family to return home to Central Queensland.
The Murugappans have been in Perth since being medically evacuated from Christmas Island last year after their youngest daughter Tharnicaa became ill with a blood infection.
