Immigration Minister Peter Dutton must immediately intervene so a pregnant woman on Nauru suffering serious health problems can receive medical assistance, Greens Immigration spokesperson Nick McKim says.
“I have today written to Mr Dutton seeking his urgent intervention in this case,” Senator McKim said.
“Medical specialists have demanded that she be immediately brought to Australia to receive the care she so desperately needs.”
“It is really sad that we need to ask the Immigration Minister to show basic humanity to people who are in his care.”
“To expose an innocent person and increased risk of significant harm and death just to make a point is cruel and completely beyond the pale.”
“There is enough blood on this government’s hands – it is time for them to show some basic humanity and do the right thing.”
