After four attempts, woman's dying wish to see brother finally granted

Key points

• A critically ill woman has been granted her final wish to see her brother, who travelled to Australia from India after a fourth sponsored visa application was approved. Anna Rochford has avascular necrosis, a rare and painful bone condition, and has been unable to walk for 10 years.
• Her brother, Clinton Barrett, had earlier visa applications refused, with officials saying they did not believe he intended to return home.
• Following media coverage and representations from a local MP, he arrived within days and plans to stay by her side until his flight home on December 1.
