Medical transfers are the 'backdoor way' for boat people to access Australia | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison has vowed the Coalition will vote against an Independent-backed asylum seeker medical evacuation bill, even if it means the government will lose a vote on the floor of parliament.\n\nLabor is supporting the legislation brought forward by Wentworth MP Kerryn Pehelps, which would make transfers for asylum seekers easier by giving the decision-making power to doctors.\n\nCurrently, the Home Affairs department has the final say over whether a refugee or asylum seeker who is housed in an offshore detention centre has the right to be transported to Australia to receive medical treatment.\n\nIf the government loses the vote, which they are expected to, it will be the first time since 1929 that a government has lost a vote on substantive legislation in the House of Representatives.
