Convicted criminals could be transferred to Australia under medivac bill: Porter | Sky News AustraliaFULL INTERVIEW: Attorney General Christian Porter says the medivac bill that passed parliament this week would allow people convicted of a serious criminal offence to travel to Australia for medical treatment.\n\nThe Medivac bill is designed to give doctors a greater say over whether asylum seekers in offshore detention centres can be flown to Australia for medical treatment, though still allows the Home Affairs minister to reject transfers on security grounds.\n\nNationals leader Michael McCormack was criticised on Thursday for claiming that the Home Affairs Minister would be unable to stop ‘spivs, and rapists and murderers' from being transferred to Australia for medical care.\n\nMr Porter told Sky News that under the amendments Labor put forward, an asylum seeker convicted, but not sentenced yet, of a serious offence can still be transferred to Australia.\n\nHowever, he could not nominate whether any asylum seeker currently housed on Manus Island or Nauru would fit this definition.\n\n\n cpyne Go to hell, Pyne. cpyne Labor will continue to denude our NATSEC cpyne Hahahaha.
