Senator McKIM (Tasmania—Deputy Leader of the Australian Greens in the Senate) (14:17): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs. Minister, I refer to the Murugappan family, which your government has detained for years, spending millions of dollars to deliberately harm two innocent children and their parents. Why did it take one of the children suffering from a potentially life-threatening illness for your government to show even the merest glimpse of compassion? Minister, why has this family not simply been allowed to return to their home in Biloela?
