sara_townend This is a magical day. We are finally moving towards the end of white privilege and white rule in Australia 👊🏾...let the refugees come and become a truely diverse and multicultural society.

sara_townend All Australians should stand with these doctors. Compassion over ‘sovereignborders.’ mukabout billshortenmp RefugeesWelcome auspol

Send the doctors to Nauru & Manus

. Doesn't anyone find it strange that doctors who suppository care won't accept Medicare to treat Australian citizens and want the taxpayers etc to pay for testing non Australians.

Can't do the humanitarian job get another job

Does a discretion of refusal need to be held by a minister when ASIO act and detainment measures are strong. The argument at its fundamental level is a legal v's moral argument. Does the gov need a discretion of refusal when refusing medical treatment amounts to torture? No.

I LEGALS WILL SWALLOW ALL SORTS OF THINGS...AND INJURE THIER BODIES.... SOME DYING... TO GET TO AUSTRALIA..STOP IT LABOR NOW :..😚

So it won't be easier for sick asylum on Manus and Nauru to get medical treatment? How does that sit with the doctor's oath? SBSNews

Send them to the Manus & Nauru islands to treat the 'critically ill' refugees. Problem solved.

I have the distinct impression they never did stop ScottMorrisonMP Of course they are. That’s why the left want it. ScottMorrisonMP Bullshit
