Dr. Stephen Grandison is saying that the assessment process has flaws, citing that his 12-year-old son would cost 2.5 million dollars, if paid for by the government.

Dr. Grandison moved to Australia from the UK in 2011 with his wife and three children. He was on a 457 visa (a temporary visa), basically allowing businesses to sponsor skilled applicants. However, two years later, his job nominated him for a 186 visa, which would allow him to stay permanently.
After going through the visa application, the family was told about their child failing the health screening. With three weeks to spare, they need to gain public support in hopes that the department will waive the health decision.
