Asylum seekers accused of murder, inappropriate behaviour and alleged terrorism offences will be sent to Christmas Island if they apply to come to Australia for medical treatment, Prime Minister Scott Morrison will announce on Wednesday.
Fifty seven male detainees have been identified as a"risk" including several accused of murder, inappropriate behaviour and alleged terrorism offences.Most of those have been classed as refugees under the government's processing procedures, including one accused of planning terrorist activities and drug trafficking. Mr Morrison intends to tour the North West Point detention centre and the medical and accommodation facilities while on the island, depending on weather.
"If the Prime Minister was interested in anything other than political posturing, he might make the time to visit Manus island and Nauru and speak to the hundreds of individuals who are suffering without adequate medical care," Mr Newhouse told SBS News. Doctors are holding off making any applications for medical transfers until they triage patients to ensure those in the most need of medical treatment are transferred first.Only a handful of applications are expected to be submitted in the next two weeks, but the government appears to be preparing to transfer people under existing powers under the Migration Act.

Medivac bill will see Australians miss out on treatment: Cormann | Sky News AustraliaFULL INTERVIEW: Mathias Cormann says Australians will be 'kicked out of their houses' and will be forced to wait longer for medical treatment if asylum seekers from Manus Island and Nauru are flown to the mainland under medivac laws.\n\nSo far, no asylum seeker on Manus Island and Nauru has been treated in Australia, despite the passage of the controversial medivac bill last month.\n\nThe legislation, which has yet to receive royal assent, gives doctors a greater say over whether asylum seekers in offshore detention centres can be flown to Australia for treatment, though it still allows the Home Affairs minister to reject transfers on national security grounds.\n\nLabor frontbencher Kristina Keneally has told Sky News the government is engaging in 'fearmongering' over the issue.\n\nMr Cormann says despite Labor's claims, it's a 'fact' that asylum seekers transferred from offshore detention centres would be utilising facilities at the expense of Australians.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n J_C_Campbell That is an utterly atrocious claim from the government. J_C_Campbell But it is true. J_C_Campbell Agree, they have this vote already. The more they go on like this the greater chance of them losing votes. They will only win back votes if they turn positive with policies for the future. Not holding my breath

Lettuce on Christmas Island can cost $15, but an ambitious farmer is changing thatPrevious attempts to grow food on a large scale on Christmas Island, where fresh food is an expensive luxury, have failed. But now an ambitious farmer is fighting the odds, and succeeding. . Considering how many people (stock brokers, bankers, shareholders) earn money without contributing to the wellbeing of people or environment, far more support and attention needs to be given to local farmers who provide people with fresh and healthy produce. .

Jackie Trad sending 'half a message' with re-skill push | Sky News AustraliaQueensland's Deputy Premier Jackie Trad says those in the coal industry should look to 're-skill' for future jobs amid a global coal backlash.\n\nMs Trad told state parliament on Tuesday that it was time to help thermal coal-dependent communities move away from the industry amid a decline in demand.\n\nThe Courier Mail's National Political Editor Renee Viellaris told Sky News that 'there isn't these swathe of jobs opportunities in Central Queensland' for workers to turn to should they look to 're-skill'.\n\nMs Viellaris added that Ms Trad was sending 'half a message' and the Labor Treasurer needed to clarify the areas she expected workers to develop new skills in. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n\n\n These idiots don't get it. Soon the worldwide population will demand the closure of coal mines. Get on the right side of history, support and retrain your work force or just keep sticking your head in the sand. Like it or not the world is changing. Tradjic is as big a fruit cake as the other one who appears to be hiding from someone. If Ian Macfarlane and the LNP (the party not the taxpayer) wants to foot the bill if his prediction is wrong then by all means. In reality its likely that continued advances in technology will make thermal coal increasingly unattractive.

Australia at risk of US-style inequality and dead end jobs, warns ACTUA report from the peak union body warns living standards in Australia have fallen dramatically in the last few years and predicts that will continue without government intervention. Pretty sure that we're already most of the way there. No wonder Amazon thinks that they can run their Australian warehouses in the same slave-labour conditions as their American ones. Mass immigration is the elephant in the room. Gillard told journalists. “And of course, delivering the NBN is part of my better economic plan for this country’s future. The NBN means more jobs. It means that we can compete with countries around the world like Singapore, like Korea, like Japan.”
