Doctors 'incensed by politicking’ over Phelps medical evacuation bill | Sky News Australia

Nice. Blue pilled and imbecile at the same time.

Maybe we should take him up and gas the country hopper refugees. According to him it is more humane!! We have mental illness here Dr.

How can this be so? They know for certain that they are not coming to Australia. They have two options. Make a life for themselves on Nauru or go home. They are free to choose whichever they prefer.

Total wacko.

These are some of the 6 million victims of the Holocaust. Maybe you can compare with the Manus Island.

How dare you say that the Holocaust victims were better off than the asylum seekers. You say that at least they knew what was going to happen to them. I wonder if you were in the Hitler Jugen

BeverleyMaxwe15 He needs to be lobotomised He is a danger to himself and people around him

Absolute crap - Nobody hates like the left !

Maybe this guy envisions himself as a modern day, new aged Josef Mengele

Jesus Christ... have you considered leaving public life in disgrace and never showing your face again after those comments? It's a good option.

Here the Australian medical profession corrupted by ideology destroys any semblance of the impartiality essential for medivac bill to be effective. Do we really want these loons controlling Australia's borders? auspol

Lack of uncertainty ? They knew for certain they can take the money and run back home. Sick my arse.

Wow. Irresponsible comment.

They were stupid to come. Stupid people do stupid things.

Will the AMA also stand up for the right to life for unborn Australian children or do they only raise their voice for illegal immigrants? AbortionIsMurder !

I am so disgusted at what this man has said...words fail me....!!

I'm old enough to remember when all traces of the DavidLeyonhjelm interview on outsiders (and all follow-up appearances) were promptly removed from your platforms and catch-up services because he offended snowflake sarahinthesen8. Interesting how this gets a pass though.

Trust doctors they say, hell no. A medical degree doesn’t mean you can’t be an idiot.

AMA has been captured by the left for a while now

This is a disgrace. This man is a disgrace- if he is what doctors represent then society must be very afraid of them. The should have much less power- this bill is frightening with people like him as 'dr'.

Paul Bauert is a certifiable idiot. This shows that the doctors who will be involved can’t be trusted to be objective, and they will be no different to all of the other activists bleating bullshit about the country shoppers.

too much politicking over the last 5 years? thattletys the cat out of the bag, the AMA are just self serving activists. It was MrKRudd that ordered that none of these refugees would EVER be resettled in Australia

You have to be shitting me...

I'm surprised this opinion/statement has not been removed.

A doctor of what? I wouldn't take my dog to see him. Absolute wanker!!

Doctors like Commissioners, Consultants,Public Dept Heads can only recommend not take over control of democratically elected governments. This is Westminster law., not rocket science.!!!This is a back door coup .

Seriously? Why would anyone listen to idiots like this on border protection, health or any other subject Mark Latham

He needs to go.

MarieCo92176893 'Shit life syndrome' same with homelessness, shortens life, increases illness, eradicates hope

Don’t come here!! Simple !!! That’s the message ! Simply do not come on boats illegally as you won’t set foot on AustralIan soil ever!!!!!.....how simple does it need to be!....just don’t come!!

Any dead turd who invokes the 'Manus is Auschwitz' line needs to be booted off TV and forced to check himself into a clinic for the mentally disturbed.

I hoped his statement had been somehow taken out of context but alas not. Inexcusable.

i guarantee they are better off there than in their own lands...the ones they fled without their wives and children...

He needs to join a new book club.

I definitely want a second opinion from this schmuck.

JulianBurnside this is typical you and your kind!

deregister this 💩 , drpaulbauert should never be allowed to practice medicine again

Complete lack of perspective, on both issues. Resign.

Good on you Phelps you brought out the idiots. Likening the refugees to the Jews in a concentration camp. AMA Dr yeah sure we will trust you with our borders.

The Australian Medical Association's Dr Paul Bauert 😡😡😡

Is it too obvious to say that people in the public arena should always avoid connecting their story/issue/topic to anything remotely related to the holocaust?

Absurd and offensive commentary. Essentially, just a ruse to legitimise open border policy.

Socialised medicine has destroyed the medical profession... I wonder what number will they use on the Medicare charging list for consulting on the well-being of a border hopper. Will it be bulk billed? Can they sneak in a couple of tests to pad the bill?

What a f*cking Asshole. How the hell would you know what gas chamber victims felt. A sense of relief or the thought they were getting a shower and deloused which was one of the tricks used. How dare you compare their tragedy. You bourgeoisie prick 😡😡😡

Demented old fool - I worked with him years ago when He was a reasonable sort of bloke. He owes all of the Jewish community an enormous apology and he should be deemed unfit to comment on behalf of the AMA. Such disgraceful comments.

Yet another quack thinking they can dictate government policy. Can’t these people stop helping themselves to the drug cabinet?

They can probably see a $$$ in it

what's his excuse 😂

I agree, we need to get psychological help over there for them. The psychiatrists need to help them understand where they are is now their home. We need to stop being cruel to these people. & get them to understand no other country wants them. Even NZ have changed their stance

What a disgrace. And this unelected idiot wants to determine our immigration policy. No thanks mate.

so in that case it would be better to send them back to where they came from

What a load of crap. This bloke is hiding behind his stethoscope to advance a personal socio-political agenda. The AMA has lost credibility through other groups like 'Doctors for Forests', 'Doctors for Whales' et. al. Far too self-entitled. Piss off and go carry your bedpans.

Glad he is not my doctor

Is this guy for real So those poor people who were gassed to death by the Nazis found some “relief” because they knew what was happening ? WTF? What a disgraceful piece of shit this guy is.

Is he for real? The millions of Jews who were about to be gassed found a “sense of relief in knowing what was happening”? Beyond ignorant, beyond outrageous holocaust

“We need to work out a system where we support our own first and then we look at foreign aid” Queensland Grazier Jane McMillan slams Government response to the farming flood crisis, which has now killed 500,000 cattle at a cost of $2.5 billion.

I agree, we need to get psychological help over there for them. The psychiatrists need to help them understand where they are is now their home. We need to stop being cruel to these people. I get them to understand no other country wants them. Even NZ have changed their stance

The AMA President is a disgrace, absolutely no comparison

This disgraceful nitwit compares the detention centres to Jews being gassed in concentration camps in WWII. When will these people learn?
