Three members of Biloela family granted temporary bridging visas

The Morrison government has granted three members of the Murugappan family bridging visas amid mounting pressure for them to be released from community detention.

The immigration minister, Alex Hawke, said he had used his powers under the Migration Act to grant members of the family three-month bridging visas which provide work and study rights.

They are expected to remain in Perth while the youngest member of the family, Tharnicaa, receives medical care.
