Episode description
Three-year-old Tharnicaa has been living on Christmas Island for almost two years with her asylum-seeking family. Her recent medical flight to a Perth hospital suffering with undiagnosed pneumonia and sepsis has highlighted the family's treatment in detention and the desperate situation for refugees in offshore centres.
George Newhouse, a human rights lawyer, and CEO of the National Justice Project explains why the Biloela family is still in detention, and the bleak impact of Australia's immigration policy.
