Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has hinted the Nadesalingam family will be able to get permanent visas following their return to the Queensland town of Biloela.

Nothing is stopping the Nadesalingam family seeking permanent residency in Australia, Albanese says, following the Tamil asylum seekers’ return to Biloela.
