One of the first things the Albanese government did when it came to power was to allow a Tamil family to return to the central Queensland town of Biloela.  That decision focused attention on tens of thousands of other asylum seekers here who have been waiting for immigration rulings for around a decade, and in some cases are living in poverty without access to Centrelink, Medicare or the ability to work.  Today, national regional reporter Nathan Morris takes us to meet some of them.  Featured:  Nathan Morris, ABC national regional reporter, Gatton, Queensland

Asylum seekers Priya and Nades came to Australia separately by boat from Sri Lanka a decade ago.  They met in detention and were given bridging visas before moving to Biloela, a small town in central Queensland.
