Christopher Pyne suggests a proposal, backed by Labor, the Greens and the crossbench, would allow people to game the system to come to Australia.

That just means ScottMorrisonMP left people in our care get really sick.

Good, about time they were freed.

Hysterical fear mongering from the Poodle. Does he even know he's in the closet?

stop spreading crap

What a completely stupid irrational and scare mongering rant. What an idiot! Complete lack of vision in that party

I wouldn't believe one word from Christopher Pyne.... a hopeless Liar. auspol

How many of those commenting here are going to open their homes to accommodate and pay support for the refugees? Or is this just political correctness talk?

So? Bring them here.

You and your mob are so stupid because you can't see she will use this to win the bites if those out there who think that the country is large enough and that there are plenty of jobs and homes and medical and laws ( for them) that they don't have to stay in detention. Wake up.

Then here us the simple thing to do, get the numbers and bite against it. You knew that once a doctor hot in as an Independent that their bleeding heart would nit allow them to do anything but bring these poor hard done by fools into the country with a pimple on their ass.

Their tank has been running on empty for a few years now. All they’ve got is scaremongering.

Pyne is an idiot why didn’t he go for 1000000 while he was fantasising? Mind you if the Greens got in or had the balance of power I have no doubt the refugee flood gates would open.

THIS government is warning people about other people gaming the system? Are they taking helicopters or installing themselves on committees where they have vested interests? No, they are just trying to escape persecution and death.

If they are ill they need medical attention. What LiberalAus would leave them there?

Another headline could be ... “federal government confirms 1,000 people so severely traumatised on Manus and Nauru that they urgently need medical treatment”

What a fear mongering vile bunch this coalition is.

Do I smell an election?

And end Australia’s shame. How can this be bad? auspol BackTheBill

And the problem is.....?!

So ashamed to be Australian. How can “we” keep 1000 sick people in such horrific conditions. Where is “our” humanity?

So there are 1000 medical emergencies on Manus? SHAME on us...

A thousand people? IM-possible! They'll never fit -- we don't have any room for them!!

That was the most ridiculous performance by mr fix it ever cpyne you are a joke and so is your gov...

Well swap them for the politicians and their staffers of this rabble mob masquerading as a government under Prime Muppet ScottMorrisonMP and that should even the numbers up. They’re all presumably healthy though some doubtful of sound minds!

So 1000 people on Manus and Naru are viable candidates for medical evacuation as the seek refuge legally in Australia in accordance with our UN obligations, but they have not been medically evacuated prior due to the fact our government does not see them as human beings but pawns

For every time you simply ‘report’ federal government information, you simply seem amateurish and a mouth piece for the LNP.

Can we just have a general warning about the gutter slime Coalition government currently in power parading an unelected egghead as prime minister?

Cheap fear mongering and more shrill and unfounded reactionary hyperbole from Pyne. No recognition that these people have languished in limbo to their own detriment with no real solutions for their circumstances. No real policy, no real solution

When this legislation passes you can expect the LNP government to allow a few boats to slip through the Naval turnback blockade in the run-up to the election. They'll then claim an increase of boats (which have never stopped) resulting from this legislation.

Yep. That’s one of the LNP scaremongers we’ve come to know and loathe. Little wonder their poll trajectory has headed downward ever since they got in.

Then let them.. if they need medical attention , so be it. Duty of care

Sounds like we should let them out of the concentration camps

1000 10,000 100000,1000000 infinity

Fear tactics again, it all depends on what this transfer bill actually states, too many political point scoring comments. We need ALL the fine details to make a judgement before the next election.

The Government could've defeated the bill if they had the numbers, the reason they don't is thier own fault. That's the price you pay for disrespecting your party members.

I agree. We are being governed by ill-informed politicians with 'tunnel vision'.

Wait, we're keeping a thousand people who need medical assistance in a place without suitable treatment?! That's messed up...

Here's some of the Manus boys enduring another shocking day at the 'Concentration Camp' … (Warning: More disturbing pictures of Australia's inhumanity at the link)

So?

Says Pyne whose mob who are gaming the system.

Excellent! About bloody time

politicsabc Total bullcrap. The only way 1000 refugees will get here is if the appointed panel of medical experts considers every detainee is sick and requires treatment in Australia. If this is the case, it reflects badly on the LNP govt as they mistreated them and made them so sick.

Come on South Australia make sure this thing does not get re elected come the election.

Yeah....and pigs 'could' fly.....

So are 1000s of refugees are sick? Have the LNP allowed their condition to worsen to such an extent that ALL of them are in urgent need of medical attention? Shameful!

That money could be used to help the people in Nth Qld who have lost everything. But as usual the lefties would rather help people who try to come here illegally, destroy their documents and will want handouts for the rest of their lives.

Phelps will have the kettle on waiting to greet them! 😂😂

Your headline is misleading. It is more accurate use your first key point as the tweet.

Complete Crap. As Pyne knows. This is scaremongering and dog-whistling.

1000 sick people no doubt! Heaven forbid people get access to adequate treatment

Still much cheaper than a childcare rebate

maybe we shouldn’t have kept a thousand people in concentration camps then

Good. That's peanuts compared to how many people enter Australia by plane and overstay their visas.

Dr. HOW Long setting up a franchise there?

Bring it. We will welcome them all, and show them that Aussies are generous caring honest unlike our politicians. refugeesarepeople icare

Translation: Federal Government admits to diabolically inhuman treatment of refugees

2Co 4:15| For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

Claims*

Then those 1000 people shouldn't be in detention there!

Medical transfers for off-shore asylum seekers 'undermining national security'Giving doctors more power to get asylum seekers out of offshore detention flies in the face of national security advice, the federal government warns.
