The youngest daughter of a Tamil asylum seeker family detained on Christmas Island is celebrating her fourth birthday in hospital, amid speculation over the family’s future.
there could be a resolution within two weeks, quoting Nationals MP Ken O’Dowd. His electorate includes the small Queensland town of Biloela where the family lived before they were taken into immigration in 2018.
“I know across Australia there is enormous compassion and empathy and concern for the welfare and wellbeing of the family and the young girl in question,” he said.
