“Why can’t we show this family compassion?”
The youngest daughter of the Biloela family detained on Christmas Island is fighting a serious blood infection caused by untreated pneumonia, supporters say.
Three-year-old Tharnicaa and her mother Priya Murugappan were evacuated from the island on Monday evening, and the child suffered dangerous temperature spikes on the journey to Perth.
Her mother says the girl was sick for almost two weeks, and that repeated requests for early hospital care were refused.
