Hard Working UK Family to be Deported/Tamil Shonk Family to Stay

[Rev.Cambeul]

Deported at 10am Today - That's this very minute!

Their Crime - Being WHITE!

Hardworking Scots family will be deported from Australia TODAY after paying taxes for 10 years and doing nothing wrong - as minister is accused of allowing Biloela family to stay 'so he can look like a hero

Excerpt: Electrical expert Mark Green, 44, was headhunted for his specialist solar installation skills in 2012 and flown to Australia with his wife Kelly, 45, and daughter Rebecca, 19.

But they are being thrown out the country at 10am after a series of broken promises by his employers left them stranded without their visas or permanent residency.

However the Tamilese Murugappan family (pictured below) were granted permanent residency on Friday to allow them to stay in Biloela in Queensland after immigration minister Andrew Giles stepped in following a public outcry.

But he refuses to intervene to help the Greens - and won't even comment on their case.

The Labor minister was slammed this morning by 2GB radio host Ben Fordham for his apparent hypocrisy.

'Don't ignore the double standard here – the minister is happy to show compassion when there's enough publicity for him to look like a hero,' said Fordham.

'He'll step in to help one family but allow another to be kicked out of Australia. It exposes the hypocrisy of the federal government and politics of large.'

They're staying to fight - But how did it happen?

 1. The family has made acquaintance with a musician
 2. The musician knows an opportunist state politician
 3. ... Who has the ear of the state Premier - another opportunist
 4. ... Who calls the federal Minister for Immigration
 5. ... The fed backs down

Finally, the state Premier personally calls the family to advise them to not get on the plane back to Scotland - gloating to the world at large that he's personally responsible for obtaining the family's permission to remain in Australia for a few more months.

The moral of the story: If a politician stands in your way, seek out an opposing opportunist politician, and play the two against one another.

Inside story of how a Scottish family avoided being deported from Australia, the mysterious music icon who saved them

Kevin Airs | Daily Mail Australia (UK) | 11 August 2022

A chance meeting with an Australian country music legend has saved a Scottish family from certain deportation - and given them hope of a new life Down Under

Electrical expert Mark Green, 44, was headhunted for his specialist solar installation skills in 2012 and flown to Adelaide with his wife Kelly, 45, and daughter Rebecca, 19.

But after a series of broken promises by employers left them penniless and stranded without visas, they were set to be kicked out of the country on Wednesday.

The family were booked on the 10.20pm Qatar Airways flight to Doha, but just as the family should have been checking in, they were dramatically saved at the 11th hour.

South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas personally called new Labor immigration minister Andrew Giles and persuaded him to grant the family a month-long reprieve.

And Australian Country Music Hall of Fame icon Johnny Mac, 89 (pictured right) - who had a global hit with Pink Champagne And A Room of Roses in 1964 - played an unlikely key role in saving the family, originally from Ayrshire in Scotland.

'We're just so grateful to everyone,' Mr Green told Daily Mail Australia at his Dover Gardens home in Adelaide. 'But it wouldn't have happened without Johnny.'

Mac was the first Australian country music singer to make it big in the US, appearing alongside Johnny Cash in the 60s, and he even bought Elvis Presley's 1969 gold Cadillac Eldorado.

He is now back living in his hometown of Adelaide and is a regular at Villi's Pies where Ms Green works.

She often serves the long-running 70s host of Channel Seven's Country Style show - and when she told him of her family's plight, he sprung into action.

Mac immediately put her in touch with his old mate and former Today Tonight reporter Frank Pangallo - now an elected South Australian state politician for the SA-Best Party.

The contact sparked a chain of events which would eventually spare the family at the very last moment

Mr Pangallo managed to find a new migration lawyer for the family who told the Greens at the weekend that they should risk everything to stay.

Solicitor Abby Hamdan told the Greens they had nothing to lose by standing their ground - and after days of family debate, at 3.30pm on the day they were due to leave, they decided to stay

She's been absolutely fantastic - she told us to stand up and fight for it,' Mark told Daily Mail Australia. 'So we took her advice.

'I was sitting on the fence about it and worried that if we overstayed our welcome it might just make things worse for us in the long run.

'But Kelly and Rebecca said we've got nothing to lose. They were going to deport us anyway and we could have been waiting back home for two or three years

'They say it can be cleared up in three or five months, but we know of people that have been waiting for years. We've heard horrible, horrible stories.

'If we had left before our deadline, we would have been one of those statistics of people left overseas for years waiting for approval with our life on hold.'

They vowed to stay and fight - but as they prepared to plead for help live on TV, Mr Pangallo was called by the SA Premier to say they had been given the vital lifeline.

'It was wild - we were waiting and waiting and waiting for a response from the government and then I got the call just as we were going to air,' Mr Pangallo said.

'We got the Premier involved today and then it was all this last minute to-ing and fro-ing. He had a meeting with the immigration minister at 5.15pm - and then rang me to tell me the news just as the cameras were rolling.'

The Greens now have an extra month to make a submission for their visa type to revert to what it was before so they can remain in the country while they apply for a renewal and then bid for permanent residency again.

They thought they were already on the verge of residency a few years ago when one of Mr Green's former bosses told him he'd done all the paperwork and paid the fees.

Mr Green said he trusted him after working alongside him for five years and considered him a close personal friend.

But the paperwork turned out to be false, and caused the Greens to breach their work visas which directly caused their present predicament forcing them out the country

The family has lost almost everything in their battle to stay in Australia, spending $150,000 on visa and immigration lawyers, and paying for all their own healthcare.

Even Rebecca's public state school fees is bleeding them dry with cost stacking up to $8000 a year.

The Greens moved to their new home in Adelaide in 2012 with the promise of their permanent residency being sponsored by the company flying him in.

But every time he's been eligible, the employers have folded before the paperwork could be completed - and it's now happened seven times to the devastated family.

After realising they were going to be given the boot, the family were forced to sell almost everything they owned and made the heartbreaking decision to leave their  beloved pet labradoodle Maisie and their 10-year-old rabbit Marmaduke behind

'He never apologised,' admitted Mr Green. 'I don't care any more though, At the end of the day everyone's got their bad side and everyone's got their good side.

'Everybody does things wrong - but it's learning to forgive and let bygones be bygones. If you keep moping about something, it's killing you, not anyone else.'

He says the family has been overwhelmed by the support they've received since their plight was first revealed, with goodwill messages from across the world.

A online petition begging for them to remain in the country has exploded with more than 25,000 signatures already, including more than 10,000 on Wednesday alone

But the pressure of the last month has taken its toll, with Mr Green suffering endless sleepless nights and losing 15kg in a matter of weeks.

'The support has been indescribable,' said Mr Green. 'The phone has been ringing off the hook and I've been getting 1000 texts a day. I don't know how celebrities cope!

'It's been very stressful. The whole thing has been so stressful. I've tried to keep strong for my family but when they're not looking I've broken down so many times

'It was just one hurdle after another after another through no fault of our own.

'We ended up in this position and it was just seemed like the darkness was just getting darker and there was no way out. We'd done nothing wrong.

'I'm just glad they've seen sense and given us a chance. It's restored my faith in humanity. I'll sleep soundly tonight for the first time in months

He added: 'This is our life. We don't want anything else. There's many countries and people that have offered me jobs but I don't want to leave Australia. I love Australia.

'But I don't think people realise how much is involved in having to leave the country to apply and then come back again. Every part of your life is in turmoil.

'You have to give up your job, your home, your cars, your pets - everything, and the cost is huge. We have nothing left.

'I'd hoped to have my own home and business now - but I've got nothing...not even a mortgage

'I just hope the Labor government now changes the system. There are so many people in the same boat as us and the system is failing.'

The family celebrated the good news with doughnuts and pastries at their home joined by Johnny Mac, Frank Pangallo and neighbourhood friends relieved they would be staying.

'It's great they'll still be here,' Mac told Daily Mail Australia. 'I'm just glad to have played a part - and that they'll still be here for my 90th birthday party next week.

Miraculously, at the 11th hr the Labour immigration minister got his act together and granted them an extra month to fight deportation. I sure hope they win and get to stay. You can sign an online petition. It'll just take a min - Go share the Link!

Apparently the man had been offered work in other places after the story has gone viral. His skills are better used here and it's a damn disgrace the Australian employers shonked him from getting permanency earlier!

It is so hard on the family with the money they've thrown around here. I guess the fact that the Brits built this country doesn't count for much now? It's all about who's coming here all cashed up.

Who's going to get sponsored here? Asians and Curries who shut up and won't challenge their employer. Whitey makes too much noise!

A Scottish family fighting deportation from Australia may end up in New Zealand after their race to complete hundreds of pages of immigration forms hit a wall

Mr Giles stepped in after a plea from South Australian premier Peter Malinauskas just as the Adelaide family should have been checking in for their flight back to the UK.

A series of broken promises by employers left the family stranded without a visa 10 years after emigrating from Ayrshire in central Scotland for a new life Down Under.

The 11th-hour intervention has given them an extra month to re-apply and on Monday they were told they must file three 80 page-forms within 24 hours.

They need to list all their international travel over the past three decades - but the family's old UK passports were destroyed when they recently renewed them.

Now they are scrambling to retrace their steps from memory and family pictures - and are terrified of making a mistake which could cost them their visa.

It's another punishing blow for the family who have been let down seven times by companies sponsoring Mr Green, a solar installation specialist.

'The immigration department got in touch looking for more information so I'm just filling out endless forms now.

'No word of a lie here, I've got three forms to fill out which are 80 pages each, looking for information from up to 30 years ago

Who the hell has got that?'

He told Daily Mail Australia: 'Our problem is that we renewed our passports at the beginning of the year.

'They give you an option: "Do you want your old passports back or you want us to get rid of it?"

'I thought it was pointless keeping our old passports so I said just to get rid of it.'

They are now painstakingly piecing together all their international movements but are aware the clock is not on their side.

'We were told to get these forms back to immigration by Tuesday afternoon, and the immigration minister wants the full case on his desk by August 29,' said Mr Green.

'I was up until 1am trying to work through them all. It's another step forward but I'm dealing with the government so I'm not confident at all...

'I'm worried they're just trying to trip me up.'
The Green family now have a back-up plan in place to fly to New Zealand if the government does kick them out of Australia.

The clan sold everything they had in Scotland when they left 10 years ago and have nothing awaiting them back in the UK.

They faced being homeless and jobless after Mr Green's UK electrical certification expired while he was in Australia.

But after their plight was revealed by Daily Mail Australia, a New Zealand recruitment specialist saw their story from the UK and got in touch

'Hopefully it will get better, but if not, I'm now set up for New Zealand,' he revealed. 'I hope it doesn't but if it comes to it, I'm organised now for NZ.

'The recruiting agent said he would help me free of charge and get me a job which is great. It saves me from going back to Scotland because I have no prospects there.

'In a worst case scenario, I can get permanent residency there within two-and-a-half years, and I can apply up to the age of 55, which is 10 years more than Australia.

'If there's one thing I've learned in life, it is not to just rely on what's happening. Always have a back-up plan. And if you can, have a back-up plan for that back-up.

Australia doing it's damnedest to Keep White Immigrants Out.

Good News: White Family Obtains Residency



https://creativityalliance.com/forum/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=3397

Because they are White, they had to fight "tooth and nail" to stay in Australia.
They got residency just by the skin of their teeth! It is shocking how hard it was for them just trying.
We need more migrants like this lot from England.
