Priya Nadesalingam has spoken out against the Albanese government’s immigration detention bill, saying her family’s return to Biloela would have been “impossible” without access to a mobile phone while detained.
Nadesalingam, alongside her husband, Nades, and their two young daughters, was taken from the Queensland town in March 2018 and placed in immigration detention while the then Coalition government sought to have the Tamil asylum seekers deported to Sri Lanka.
