My name is Mark Kilian and both my wife Anneli and I arrived in Sydney from our home in Los Angeles early Tuesday morning hoping to say good bye to my father who has terminal pancreatic cancer.

We are both fully vaccinated since April, me with Pfizer and my wife with Moderna and we have negative covid tests from our departure in Los Angeles as well as negative results from the swabs done at our arrival at Sydney Airport. 

We received permission to enter Australia from the Dept Of Home Affairs and a provisional quarantine exemption from NSW Health based on compassionate grounds. However QLD Health has rejected our quarantine exemption application multiple times. 

We are appealing to QLD Health to grant us the quarantine exemption based on compassionate grounds to have the opportunity of saying goodbye to my dying Father and to be able to be there to care for my Mother.

Today, QLD Premier Anastacia Palaszuczuki has said she is open to intervening to help Mark and Anneli visit Mark's dad who is on his deathbed.

The Premier has indicated willingness to work with the NSW Government and the Federal Government to come to a compassionate solution. Mark's 80 year old dad who is hospital is in a critical state and time is runing out.

Please, email the Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and QLD Premier to work together and help unite this family before it's too late.
