Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister. I refer to his quote this month when he said, 'Tharnicaa and Kopika were born in Australia. Maybe if their names were Joan and Sally we'd think twice about sending them back to another country which they're not from.' In his capacity as minister for regional development, does he still support the government letting Tharnicaa, Kopika and their family go home to 'Bilo' in regional Queensland, and will he use his position as Deputy Prime Minister to advance their cause?
