"The long-running case of the “Biloela family” has taken a step forward, after
the new Labor government confirmed they would be allowed to return home to
Queensland.

Interim home affairs minister Jim Chalmers said on Friday the Nadesalingam
family (also known as the Murugappan family) can finally go home to Biloela on
bridging visas.

But their final immigration status is still outstanding. It’s yet to be seen if
the immigration minister will choose to exercise their discretion to grant them
permanent visas.

So what are the other main policies we can expect from the newly elected
government affecting thousands more asylum seekers and refugees in Australia?"
