The Australian Department of Immigration's refusal of permanent residency to the family of Dr Bernhard Moeller, including his 13 year old son Lukas who has Down syndrome, continues to draw media attention in Australia and abroad.

The Australian reports that the Minister for Health, Nicola Roxon, has weighed into the debate, and will take it up with the Minister for Immigration, Chris Evans.
