My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. I am told that there is a mother in Syria who has not left her home for the last year, or let her daughters out either, because she lives in an ISIS controlled area and she fears what ISIS will do to women. Her husband fled Syria, hoping to find refuge and then bring the family to safety. He made it to Australia but has spent the last two years locked up in detention centres, and he is now having heart attacks. Please, Minister, will you do the appropriate checks and let this family live reunited in Australia in safety and freedom?
