Old Tamil possesses a special numerical character for zero (see Old Tamil numerals below) and it is read as andru (literally, no/nothing).

The hearing ran all day and as time edged closer to 4pm the injunction preventing the family’s deportation from Australia was due to expire.īromberg extended the injunction until 4pm on Thursday, indicating he would hand down a decision on whether the case goes to a full hearing, and the family remains in Australia while that is heard, before Thursday afternoon. “There is clearly a lot to be argued in this,” Aleksov said. “The tap doesn’t get turned on until an application is made,” he said.Īnother potential argument put forth by the family is that their lengthy time in detention since being removed from Biloela 18 months ago would suggest that the minister must be taking steps to consider a visa, and therefore cannot be removed from Australia until that process is completed. Justice Mordecai Bromberg raised the possibility that the so-called lifting of the bar means an application must already be made, rather than the bar just preventing an application be made. “I’m not saying she knew about it or at that age could have conceivably known about it,” he said.īut even so, Lloyd argued, Priya subsequently being refused a visa claim after the determination meant that Tharunicaa was no longer eligible under the determination. He said it just removed a hurdle temporarily. He was not aware if the family was made aware she could apply for a visa. In an interlocutory hearing in the federal court on Wednesday, the barrister representing the family, Angel Aleksov, launched a new argument, that a July 2017 ministerial determination from the home affairs minister, Peter Dutton, had in fact lifted the bar preventing Tharunicaa from applying for a visa in 2017, and the bar remained lifted.Ī visa application for Tharunicaa was made last week, and the family’s lawyers have argued this application must now be assessed given the bar is lifted.īut Stephen Lloyd, acting for the government, argued the bar was lifted just for a short time in 2017, expiring in October, and Tharunicaa could have applied for a visa then. But the immigration minister has the power to “lift the bar” to allow her to apply for a visa.Īfter the case was launched, the home affairs department referred the case to the immigration minister, David Coleman, but he had decided not to lift the bar. Even though Tharunicaa was born in Australia, she is given the same visa status as her parents. Under the Migration Act, people who arrive in Australia by boat cannot apply for a visa while in Australia. The case centred around the fact that until this week the government had not considered whether Tharunicaa was owed protection under Australia’s international obligations.

Priya, Nadesalingam and their two Australian-born children, Kopika, 4, and Tharunicaa, 2, were sent to Christmas Island last month after the federal court granted an injunction preventing the government deporting Tharunicaa until the court application had been heard. Two Tamil asylum seekers and their Australian-born daughters will stay in Australia for at least one more day as their lawyers push for the federal court to hear their case.
