I really can't understand where we have not treated this family as human beings? I am genuinely confused.

They are together in reasonable accommodation, the mother had 6 hours a day with the baby, admittedly the father didn't, but I imagine he was able to care for the other 2 children and provide emotional security for them while there mother was absent, just as happens in other out of area families where there is not extended family or a good support network to care for the children. Very few places will allow 2 parents AND a 4 and 7 yo to spend unlimited time in a high care unit, regardless of background.

It appears to be more than reasonable accommodation.

 

The site has three accommodation buildings with individual kitchenettes and a lounge/entertainment area, and a common use building housing a kitchen, meals area, induction/interview rooms, a medical room, storage, as well as offices for departmental staff, and the detention services provider.

All buildings are modern, spacious, single-level steel construction, with air conditioning to all areas to meet tropical climatic conditions.

There is a fair few houses in the surrounding areas that don't even have all of that, especially the airconditioning. same for the rest of qld.
