My question is to Senator Fifield, representing the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. I refer to the Queensland coroner's report of two weeks ago on the preventable death of Iranian asylum seeker Hamid Khazaei, who fell gravely ill while in detention on Manus Island. The coroner recommended a new process for medical transfers, including allowing local doctors to approve emergency transfers without needing to wait for Canberra's rubber stamp. He also recommended audits of offshore detention centres and that they be brought up to the standard of Australian detention centres. Will the government enact these recommendations?
