Coalition playing politics over border security: Labor | Sky News AustraliaLabor frontbencher Andrew Leigh says the government is running a ‘fear campaign’ over border security as parliament resumes this week.\n\nThe lower house is preparing to debate a bill first brought forward by Wentworth MP Kerryn Phelps, which gives doctors greater discretion to transfer sick refugees and asylum seekers to Australia from offshore detention camps.\n\nLabor leader Bill Shorten will receive an ASIO briefing on the legislation, with security agencies allegedly warning that the legislation could result in over one thousand refugees and asylum seekers transferred to Australia from offshore camps.\n\nMr Leigh says Labor is ‘open to a middle way’ that maintains Australia’s border security but allows sick asylum seekers and refugees to secure the medical treatment they need.\n\n\n\n ALeighMP ALeighMP Fear and division is all the LNP have. No policies No principles No majority No authority No direction No idea In a 100 days or less we vote them out. ALeighMP Did someone say? MEDISCARE! E D I S C A R E . It's real though!

Labor will review amendments to medical evacuation bill: Keneally | Sky News AustraliaFULL INTERVIEW: Labor's Kristina Keneally says Labor is reviewing whether it will support a government proposal that will give doctors more of a say on whether refugees housed in offshore detentions can be brought to Australia for treatment.\n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison has confirmed the government will set up to set up an independent medical review panel to oversee medical transfers for sick asylum seekers and refugees, however the final decision on whether they can be brought to Australia will remain within the Department of Home Affairs.\n\nThe move is slightly different what is being proposed in Wentworth MP Kerryn Phelp's bill, which gives doctors the final say on whether a sick asylum seeker can be transported to Australia.\n\nMs Keneally told Sky News Labor will look at the amendments that have been put forward on both sides before making a decision on whether it will support any legislation.\n\n\n\n KKeneally I would have thought Allah would be taking care of them! Like he did the 1500 who died at sea under Labor’s bleeding heart approach. Maybe their faith isn’t that strong after all! KKeneally Ah the stupidity.
