Hello my name is Niamh and I live in England. My mum and dad are Julie and Adrian, I have three brothers, Stephen and Marc who are 29 and both permanent residents of Australia, both are happily settled with good jobs. Stephen has two daughters, Ciara who is 6 and Caitlyn who is 2, both were born in Australia. My third brother is Tevin who is 19 and is currently spending a year in Australia with his brothers and our grandparents who have been Australian citizens for 20 years. I am almost 13 and am Autistic. The Australian Immigration Department say that I cannot come and live in Australia with my family because I am Autistic. It has been my families dream for nearly 20 years to come and live in Australia. My parents decided that they would have me first before applying to emigrate. The Australian Immigration Department would happily let my parents, and my brother come and live here, but not me. Could I please ask you to sign this petition asking the Immigration Department to rethink their decision. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this. Niamh
