    "After coming to Australia temporarily for care, the four asylum seekers party to the case sued the commonwealth in the federal court for breaching a duty of care to provide them healthcare in the regional processing centre on Nauru.
    The parties include DLZ18, a child who the justice project argued was owed “urgent paediatric physical and psychiatric care” and DIZ18, who needed “an MRI head scan and specialist paediatric treatment”.
    Newhouse said the children had suffered from Australia’s “cruel” offshore detention policies and had “constant nightmares”, struggled to interact with other children, and experienced suicidal thoughts. “Some of them have self-harmed or attempted to take their own lives,” he said."
