Since March 2018, Bronwyn Dendle and Angela Fredericks have been campaigning for the Murugappan family to be released from detention and returned to their home in Biloela. The story of the family is complicated. It spans continents, decades, and multiple changes in Australia’s immigration laws. The facts of this story can become lost, hidden behind divisive, politically motivated expression of opinions. Before listening to this episode, you can refresh your understanding of the facts here.

In June 2021, 4 year old Tharnicaa required urgent medical treatment for a disease that had been untreated in detention, creating publicity round the world about her family’s treatment, and the #HomeToBilo campaign to end their enforced detention. The campaign has been described by one newspaper as having changed Australia’s national conversation on refugees.

Bronwyn and Angela are both AASW members and in this episode we discuss how they have focussed the world’s attention on Australia’s treatment of people seeking asylum.
