My question is to Senator Fifield representing the Minister for Home Affairs. Minister, I refer you to the case of a 63-year-old Hazara man who sought asylum in Australia and is currently being held by your government on Nauru. This man is currently dying of lung cancer and needs palliative care which cannot be provided in Nauru. Why is it that your government is refusing to allow this man, who is dying as we speak, to receive the palliative care that he so desperately needs in Australia?
