indy sorry but you are not thinking clearly at best
This whole issue has been blown up by a lie that never ends
Conservatives, assisted by the greens, stopped the Malaysian solution.
Because LNP knew it would work,too that we would need no offshore detention centers
*They wanted to keep boat people* as a weapon against Labor
You, and those like you, have been conned
Labors policy will not weaken boarder control
IF WE SEE A BOAT arrive, it will be bought to us by the LNP

People will still not be able to settle in Australia.
Foxy,
So, this change is for what ? What happens after the medical treatment ? back to detention ?
Why is labor so hell-bent on disrupting everything at the cost of the citizens it wants to vote for them ?

IF WE SEE A BOAT arrive, it will be bought to us by the LNP.
Belly,
so, after no boats for some time under the Coalition it will now be their fault after Labor's self-serving tantrum ?
I think you're off your trolley well & truly !

Belly & Individual,

But isn't it possible that the Labour Party is just waiting for such a cunning plan ? That's how they will call it ?

But wait: wouldn't that be right up Labour's alley ? That they want the government to try some clumsy stunt like that ? So is it possible that Labour will somehow engineer a few boats to try to land on the Australian mainland, and perhaps be immediately intercepted on-shore - all purporting to be part of the government's plan ?

But wait, there's more: isn't it possible that the government can see that this might happen, and are working to forestall a Labour plan by stopping any boats as soon as they enter international waters ? Of course, they would trumpet these actions as part of the determined efforts of the border force people, even though to allow even one boat through would probably have more negative impact on Labour than on the government ?

But wait ........ hey, there's never any end to paranoia, is there ? After all, our political enemies are all so devious and cunning, they're capable of anything.

Individual,

You ask - "So the change is for what?"

The change is a win for humanity and compassion
in the passing of the medical transfer legislation.
This legislation only allows asylum seekers on
Nauru and Manus a temporary stay in Australia to
receive urgent medical treatment that is not available
in detention. They will not be allowed to stay in
Australia permanently.

A letter in The Age newspaper asked -

Äre we seriously saying it is right to withold medical
assistance from refugees? Do we do this in our
prisons or in our wars (Geneva Convention). Are these
people who need medical help not still "in detention"
when we bring them to Australia for medical treatment?

Scott Morrison and his colleagues'
fear campaign did not work. The legislation is not about
border security and will not encourage people smugglers.
Asylum seekers would have to bring themselves to near
death to qualify for medivac if they were seeking to
come to Australia by this means.

Have you got a new peacenik hippy girlfriend, with "flowers in her hair" belly? You are certainly sounding as if you have found "ENLIGHTENMENT" of some doubtful kind, while you were away.

In fact I could ask, are you the same belly we all used to know & sort of love? I have my doubts. All this fuzzy thinking is not what we expect, or indeed used to get from a devout red neck unionist.

Foxy,
Could it be that those Judges have been promised something by Shorten in return ?
