Today is Tharni from Biloela's 4th birthday and new friends Justine Clark, Charli from Hi-Five and others have sung her favourite song!
Please help Tharni celebrate her big day by retweeting this gorgeous video and sharing your own birthday message with the #hometobilo hashtag.
To people who’ve never written to a Minister before asking them to free a family from detention & not sure what to write. I’m sharing what I just emailed the Home Affairs Minister at: [email protected] asking her to bring the family #hometobilo to give you some guidance
Just so we’re clear. A stroke of a pen by new Home Affairs Minister @karenandrewsmp is all that’s needed to bring family #hometobilo. They remain in detention now because Minister Andrews has chosen so far to follow in Dutton’s footsteps. It will define your office. Act wisely.
Today is the fourth Mother's Day that Priya has spent in detention, far from Biloela QLD where she and her family are welcome and wanted. Can you retweet or reply with a message of love and hope for Priya? #hometobilo
