The Murugappan family from Biloela have won a Federal Circuit Court case against Immigration Minister Alex Hawke.

The court described Mr Hawke’s efforts to prevent the family from applying for bridging Visas as “procedurally unfair,” and they are now eligible to reapply for bridging visas.

The family’s lawyer Carina Ford says the next decision regarding what happens in this ongoing saga is up to the government, however she hopes this decision will apply some much needed pressure in order to resolve the issue once and for all.
