Morrison says Australia risks 'losing its humanity' after woman denied permission to attend father's funeral

The prime minister criticised Queensland's mystifying' decision which meant Canberra woman Sarah Caisip missed her father's Brisbane service

Scott Morrison has doubled down on his attack against the Queensland government for refusing to allow a young woman to attend her father's funeral, declaring Australia is in danger of losing its humanity during the pandemic.

Sarah Caisip, a 26-year-old from Canberra, was denied permission to attend the Brisbane funeral of her father, Bernard, who died from cancer last week, but was escorted by authorities to a private viewing after the service.
