Prime Minister Scott Morrison has repeated claims that providing medical treatment to asylum seekers would mean Australians miss out on public housing.

Despite planning to send any asylum seekers approved for a medical transfer to Christmas Island, sick asylum seekers would see Australians miss out on public housing,

Doctors are yet to recommend any asylum seekers or refugees on Manus Island or Nauru for medical treatment in Australia under the new medevac process which was made law on Friday. Prime Minister Scott Morrison says treating asylum seekers on the mainland would cost Australians access to treatment and housing.Some who require more serious treatment could then be sent to a public hospital on the mainland.

Treason is a serious charge,

The government that got rid of tax deductions for high cost medical charges such as cancer and other terminal illnesses leaving Australians vulnerable exposed

slsandpet How long do we have left of this muppet show? 🙄🤮

FEAR FEAR FEAR IF WE ARE THAT SHORT OF HOUSING THEN YOUVE HAD 6years to do something about it . Lies lies lies lm dam sick of the rhetoric . Just stop and repent you are shameful Morrison just shameful cruel fib teller and demoniser , how can you sleep at night , it makes me sick

Enjoy a minimum of 4 term in opposition Morrison, you have earned it

The interim PM couldn't lie straight in bed

What next. There is no end to Lineral scare mongering. Pity they can’t show any humanity

Did I hear some unsubstantiated rumour that he was apparently a christian

Morrison does not care about asylum seekers or people in public housing. Faux Christian.

Isn't this an admission by the fool who is the current temp PM that he & his co-offending incompetent ministers simply aren't capable of governing. This sycophant shower of excrement can manage, can't plan, can't govern

iDGiam Because he didn't sound stupid enough the first time ...

So why is Scott Morrison deliberately throwing away $1BILLION on Christmas Island when he should have spent it on building 5000 new public housing units at $200,000 each? He's financially incompetent.

The real question is - how many Australians will miss out on public housing because of the $1billion he's throwing away on Christmas Island?

Cool, it costs approx. $400k a year to hold a person in detention, that will be saved...when they're no longer in detention. Then cancel the $25 million security & build bloody houses. You'll have enough to cover the refugees as well as additional public housing. Problem solved.

Fear tactics strike again. Clean up the affordable housing system and you will find fraudulent activity. From there you can get houses to those who actually need them

Am I alone in being heartily sick of politicians telling bald-faced lies? GAH!

That’s the price a civilised society must pay

Jesus would cast ScottMorrisonMP out of the temple. Auspol

noplaceforsheep I’m sure that this will also cause plagues of: blood frogs mosquitoes flies pestilence of livestock boils hail locusts darkness death of the firstborn (of Sydney) Andrew Bolt clones.

noplaceforsheep ScottMorrisonMP you are a liar AusVotes2019 auspol StuntChristian

noplaceforsheep This made me wonder if Morrison has even mentioned public housing before. Found this from 2 years ago. What did he do next? Did he lift a finger to tackle housing affordability? Or just attack the one party who will try to? He’s full of shit, as usual....

noplaceforsheep Australians ARE missing out already. What’s the waiting list now, 10 years in Sydney? Thanks for reminding Australians you need to do much more for public housing. And ffs, stop lying!!

He's not a leader. He's a buffoon.

This guy must have gone to the Trump school of makeup stories. He is unbelievable

Is that a threat?

No - spending billions of taxpayer dollars imprisoning asylum seekers is the problem.

Go scott Illegals take our Houses and welfare cheques while Aussies miss out

Less Dim Sims and Kebabs too!!!!

Garbage. Just take $90 BILLION back from Liberal Party mates the mining industry.

The installed PM should call an election date because Australians are missing out on democracy.

WTF

junglefruits The fallback of every Australian political party that’s losing in the polls - racism and xenophobia. Sad thing is that it usually works.

He's a turkey

Conflate conflate... on his way to a polling date 😡

It take a really big man to publicly abuse the most oppressed and vulnerable group you could think of. People fleeing persecution and torture who are now imprisoned indefinitely with almost no medical treatment. I hope this evil campaign backfires. And that he rots in hell.

Australians first please.

Even hospitals are saying this is not true. Morrison treats us like morons. If our health system was so bad that a few hundred xtra ppl meant we were going to miss beds we would not be a first world country.

b_spectabilis Snotty has lost the plot

OMG this bloke is a corrupt creep. Trying to bribe voters by Pressures of lack of health, if you investigate you’ll see the things put in to stop people gaining health to stay alive. No it wouldn’t happen to a LiberalAus Polly

The absurd rubbish that Morrison, Dutton and co are coming out with shows how woefully desperate they have become to cling to power. Don’t they realise people are now getting a good laugh out of their antics. Please bring on the election.

spotonScott. Screams from the left will bring a Syrian into Australia with a head cold. The natural born Australia waiting for a bowel cancer operation will get booted. It can’t happen, it must not happen. They have +$65m of medical facilities on Nauru, to wipe their noses.

Lie lie lie lie

BS

I am so sick of this bloody shit!! The man is a moron and he thinks we are also. just hurry up and F.O

What sort of Christian tells lie after lie after lie? I do hope there is a hell for people like him.

Here is your proof that the “stop the boats” campaign is not about saving lives at sea. How much public housing could you build for 1.4bn dollars ScottMorrisonMP auspol

ScottMorrisonMP also said that giving medical treatment to asylum seekers would also mean self funded retirees would lose their franking credits and that the cost of electricity would increase and that the countries emissions would also increase.

Oh come on! ScottMorrisonMP 9NewsAUS

This is desperation of the highest order . First it was hospital beds and now public housing ? Please give us a break . You’re getting more stupid by the day

As if he actually cares about people who live in public housing or are homeless. First class clown 🤡

Are they so screwed up they mix up departments next thing they will tell us it is the fault of refugees that the climate is warming and refugees coming to Australia cause the forest fires. LNP Lying Nit Pricks

Cheap nasty inflammatory politics, peddling untruths to invoke hate in the community is something I really dislike, I hope this backfires spectacularly. auspol

Cmon guys, this is all starting to get a bit like ...bullshit

This is getting more absurd the day

And small change will roll under the sofa and we won't be able to find it again, even with a torch.

There is no relationship between medical care & public housing. WTF Morrison?

Wow! If scomo keeps putting fear into the Australian ppl like that, all Australians would probably like to move to Christmas Island or Nauru..what’s next after healthcare and public housing? Ah yes, pensions and unemployment benefits! Just to cover all voter bases ...🙄

🤪

The man is bonkers.

I think that's 'Morrison has repeated the LIE that providing medical treatment to asylum seekers would mean Australians miss out on public housing.' Call it what it is.

Are our finances that bad that a few asylum seekers push us over the edge?

I have no idea of the number of homeless in Australia, but it's significant. The Liberals have shown no concern in the past other than selling state houses and land for development by private investors. Scott Morrison disgusting. Shame for the homeless.

Yet another LNP big guy who's been 'failed up' all his life. Like Abbott and Howard and Hewson and Downer.

Then he might have to heavily subsidise private rentals on account of no planning for population growth & current needs of existing waiting lists into 100,000s.

Amazes me how in normal mainstream life when somebody isn’t up to the job they get sacked. Morrison muppet shows this repeatedly, and yet still retains his job. From smokescreens to fabricating the truth, to misrepresentation is this how we really want our pm to represent us

Scott is entirely correct.

But we do have money to spend on things we don’t need.....

So medical treatment for asylum seekers is the metaphorical straw that broke Scomo’s back?

Hopefully another term of LNP government on the way.

Absolutely bloody rubbish. He obviously thinks the voters are gullible Auspol

He’s a fool

I’m not sure what ScoMo is trying to say here..... refugees are ill but don’t deserve medical attention because it MIGHT miss out on public housing or OMG even worse may receive medical attention before and Australian ... NO commonsense in this argument 🙄😳

What’s next? All these sick asylum seekers are going to take our jobs?

I didn't know Morrison was a comedian?

Irresponsible comment from the Brick Wall.

Excellent, well done Mr Morrison and team.

'....even before the Government turned itself into the Asylum Seeker Channel the polls were telling us the Liberals were heading for almighty smashing in Vic. Heading to Christmas Island & scaring us about hospital waiting lists seems a strange way to fix that.' - James Campbell

No public housing rests solely on the failure of both major political parties failing to invest. Shame on them!

Public Housing waiting lists were already 5+ years before asylum seekers started arriving. Stop with the ‘boats’ BS and focus on the economy, jobs, health, wages growth

How exactly

Can he actually hear himself?

The man is a lame huckster. He leads a COALition so desperate they've gone straight to fear mongering & creating false external threats. They trade in falsehoods & xenophobia. They hope their target audience is as stupid as the ones who fell for fork-tongued Abbott years ago.

Promotion of Xenophobia

Desperate lies.

Is it any wonder that Islamophopia is so prevalent with such divisive comments from MP’s.

If only he’d stop going to Christmas Island to tell me that

Complete twaddle

JLMusicTherapy Morrison at the height of his fuckwittery !

The job is too big for him. Can’t wait to vote them out.

This whole stunt of going to Christmas Island was to provide a smokescreen around yesterdays per capita recession economic news.

Desperation setting in...

🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Does he think that people are not already waiting months sometimes years for operations or housing? So next claim will be heating water gas electric fuel will all go up if they are transferred.

Absolute rubbish where is the evidence

What housing? There isn’t any housing? Has Morrison built any? Has he bought any? Has he done anything except cause harm to vulnerable Australians, asylum seekers and refugees? No. He does everything to cause purposeful harm. His actions are those of a psychopath: cruelty auspol

He’s an evil little pseudo Christian

God he’s dragging the bottom of the barrel today! Foolish man does he think we are all idiots?

Pretty good indication of how sub-par our public housing system is. Lucky we’re going to be getting new people in to manage those portfolios in a couple of months 😊

Total rubbish. That's ScottMorrisonMP choosing to keep Australians homeless for a political stunt.

So that's who caused me to bogey the last two holes yesterday. These people!!!!!
