So now Adam Bandt is PM? (if not someone better tell him 🤔)

Are the 'most trusted' ABC sad about this?

Only applies to those already on Manus so how is it a green light to people smugglers , failure to clarify ABC.

Could be time for some more “terror” events orchestrated by the people who own our politicians. They seem to be losing their grip....

Just think... if they hadn’t knifed Turnbull, Dr Phelps wouldn’t have been there to introduce the Bill. So delightful 😍❤️😍 karma for dinner.

The fact that it is the first time in 80 years a government has lost a vote in the House of Representatives tells us what a sham of a political system we have. auspol

Diddums. I'm sure that the mining or banking industries have a huge 'consulting' position waiting for ScottMorrisonMP when he finally sooks his way out of Parliament and into moral irrelevancy. AusPol AusVotes2019 KickTheseMuppetsOut

Short memories

Mr Shorten needs to call for a vote of no confidence in the government. See if Phelps and Banks would have more confidence in an ALP government led by him. That’s what I want to see. Don’t be scared Bill.

End this farce! Call the bloody election now!

Put your money on Morrison letting a boat in now...

Election now!! It’s a short drive from the capital to the GG’s office and say it’s “election time”

Nauru started charging a visa fee for asylum seekers on the island of $1,000 per person per month after the processing centre reopened in 2012. By the end of March 2015, the Australian government had paid Nauru nearly $29 million in visa fees.Sep 5, 2018

He won’t sleep tonight

We need a election to clear the decks & start making decent & just policies that are for all Australians.

They need to say till the Election so they can mess up their chances even more...

Game, set, match...

Election 🗳

Is anyone else more worried now? Given how vindictive and cruel ScottMorrisonMP has shown himself to be and he's just been humiliated in view of the entire nation, is he not likely to strike out harder and meaner than ever? I mean, a wounded animal is the most dangerous. auspol

This is what you get ScottMorrisonMP when you’re bereft of vision, ideas, policy and decency.

Good. The sooner we throw out the Coalition the sooner we can start repairing the damage they've done over their last two terms.

Scottymo mcshouty will be LOUDER than ever, in QT tomorrow, keep you mute handy, or wear earmuffs, the bastard will go ballistic over this, way outa control. LOL

Go Australia right this wrong

Please stop coming on yourself ABC ,,,, YUK.

Security fears prompt Labor to revise proposed asylum seeker medical evacuation lawsThe new approach for Labor comes after its leaders met with national security bosses in Canberra ahead of Parliament resuming.

That’s great! Watch the Greens scream disaster though... This will cost Labor votes, as will its support for live cattle exports. BrianMitchellMP billshortenmp .

Medical transfers for off-shore asylum seekers 'undermining national security'Giving doctors more power to get asylum seekers out of offshore detention flies in the face of national security advice, the federal government warns. I think I would prefer to take an Australian doctors discretion over a heartless political players opinion such as Mutton’s. What’s been done over time has been a collective decision of Australians nothing could have been a lot different except maybe not elect these horrors ...
