Legislation to overturn medevac laws passes Senate after government deal with Senator Jacqui Lambie

He said repealing the laws was a core promise the coalition took to the election earlier in the year.

“We’ve worked to an outcome I believe we both want, which is an outcome that our borders are secure, the boats have stopped and sick people aren’t dying for treatment.” “We had Minister Cormann say that there was no deal – now we’ve had Senator Lambie say there is a deal - who is lying?” Thirteen medical colleges and more than 5,000 doctors had warned against any attempt to wind back the medevac laws.Since these laws were passed more than 179 people have been transferred to Australia from Nauru and Papua New Guinea.

I can't believe people are giving thanks to this. I'm disgusted.

Common Sense Finally

Fake News.

It should be clear what is old and ineffectual Policy to the Government. The fact that simple ethics are being laboured over shows their compass is malaligned. It’ll be a slow painful death 💀 of this LNP auspol

Shame on all of you politicians ! Medical care is a human right! How can you sleep at night?!

Sell out

People who genuinely needed medical treatment in Australia were already transported here before the medevac laws were brought in. Those that jumped on the BS bandwagon can now jump off!

Practicing tears for the future suicide funerals.

Shame Jacque Lambi ... shame Australia

we are all one race! Human BEING! Shame on them

Very dissapointing Jaqui

They are not being denied medical treatment

How true 🤣🤣🤣

barry_bender5 A Greater say? Ffs , any leftist doctor could make us transfer an illegal when ever they wanted. Greater say my Arse.

Shocking

You say contentious, we say humanitarian.

Excellent news. Well done LNP🇦🇺

You lie...….they were designed to create a loophole to get people into Australia via devious means.

Do you think the deal is anything like Gillard made with the greens, Windsor and Oakeshott to form government in 2010? Ffs who cares?

dragonsaerie i just can’t believe the arrogance of this government. How can a minister with no medical knowledge make medical decisions.

Sensible result.

Who is the word contentious? It was an extremely basic safeguard of human rights. Nothing contentious about that. However in context of a Fascist country like Australia It's is guess, 'contentious '

Suzzanne1313 “Medical care is a fundamental human right, and the government, along with Senator Jacqui Lambie, voted it out'It is cruel, it's brutal, and it is a sign that this is a government that will do whatever it takes to keep this secretive and brutal regime under a shroud of secrecy.'

Where is the list. What was Centre alliance's stance in this one?

Shame on Hera,

Bukumbooee hey JacquiLambie you should be hanging your head in shame - just like in this photo - and keep it down cos us QuietAustralians shall never ever trust you again ....

Thank you JacquiLambie

No doubt Dr Phelps will be mourning the death of poor baby Bill today. Still, if you support late term abortion......

Jacqui Lambie has sold her soul to the Devil. I can’t comprehend this. LiberalAus you are the most disgraceful government in the history of the country 😡

Where are voters Australia trust in Canberra bubble? Looking at how skills in Canberra bubble are low but trust in politicians are low only High is Canberra bubble pay rise every year

Are we playing cards? You don't deal on somebody's life. This Govt, supported now by Lambie is playing with peoples lives. There was a Dr. Mengele in Aushwits that did the same. He decided the fat of other refugees and displaced persons...Look what happened.....

The scam is ended. Those with legitimate need will still have access to Australian treatment but not the fakers

So much for the hopes & dreams of drkerrynphelps

Australian doctors should concentrate on contempiry health issues of the Australian people or if they want a good international cause, stop the human rights abuse of Uyghurs in China.

Jacqui Lambie is right to hide her face. She dances with the devils. 🤢

Finally the government does something right.

Horse trading on this issue is unconscionable JacquiLambie . Shameful behaviour.

JacquiLambie wow, you've seriously fucked up there. What the hell is wrong with you?!

Agreed & why is it secret? How will we know if it’s a better deal? We won’t, so Tasmanian electorate take action

Disgraceful

MSMWatchdog2013 More to add to the PM’s list that won’t be having a merry Christmas this year.

Anyone with more political savvy than me, how soon can a coup be cooked up? To overthrow this awful government

Perfect

A great result for Australians. The majority has spoken.

Guess JacquiLambie sold her soul to the DEVIL

'To make this Commonwealth of ours Renowned of all the lands, For those who've across the seas We've boundless plains to share, With courage let us all combine' It's LITERALLY in our anthem. Who are the UnAustralian ones know?

Democracy died in Australia in 2013 when Libs came to power today is the funeral.

Best news all year

auspol have no souls

MSMWatchdog2013 Tasmania; you're rotting in it now.

Who can propose an alternative to our piss poor and outdated democracy and corrupted corporate system

Another assault on Australia's democracy by keeping the deal secret from the parliament & from the Australian public. There is no point using the term Human Rights because HumanRights clearly don't exist! I have zero confidence in Australian politics! medevac auspol

Evil, what national security? Chinese are not going to invade Australia! For what? Get our Coal?! Total bullshit...this democracy need an alternative political system

How’s the crocodile Jacqui?

I am so disappointed in our government.

Good girl

Incredibly disappointed JacquiLambie

Bs

Yes crocodile tears!

Crocodile tears...

Shame.

Denying medical treatment is torture I have no doubt what sort of soldier Lambie wouldve been

Full of it.

It's not a national security issue. These are human beings. The LNP has no humanity. I thought you did Jacqui 😒

Shame on you Australia. Disgusting excuse for a country.

Wrong. It was designed to give asylum seeker advocates a chance to rort the system.

Jacquie Lambie sounds like she is being held hostage. What the hell is going on there

No need to be tearful JacquiLambie if you don't think you've done anything wrong. Guilty conscience, hope it haunts you.

JacquiLambie you should be ashamed of you're actions you're no better then PeterDutton_MP any shred a hope that I had invested in you is gone, SHAME LAMBIE SHAME

This is now Jacqui Lambies legacy. It no longer sits with a cruel, tyrannical Liberal party. Jacqui now owns it. And her refusal to make public her agreement with the liberal party is the second betrayal. Sleep well Jacqui I look forward to hearing your excuse on the first death.

And I don't believe your bloody tears neither.

Well done for joining the soulless party.

Your tears mean nothing Lambie. You and this rotten government have blood on your hands.

How does it feel JacquiLambie to know you’re directly complicit in the indefinite torture and incarceration of asylum seekers? Shame on you. Your tears mean nothing. auspol

What’s the deal

Shivers up and down my spine. Morrison must be smirking.

Disgraceful!!

So can Australia just kill all the asylum seekers now? It'd be more humane

Anyone who believes this has anything to do with national security shouldn't be in a position of leadership.

God forbid but if Australia ever needed the help of other countries. that is the FU salute you will get in return. Medevac

you will be remembered for this JacquiLambie Medevac

That is f**kyou salute to democracy and human decency. Well done JacquiLambie You had a chance and you blew it. medievac

Thank you JacquiLambie and PaulineHansonOz for helping to repeal the Medevac Bill, and for keeping Australian borders secure. I understand it was a hard decision to make but it was the right one - for the benefit of the citizens of Australia whom you serve.

Assuming Lambie was not going full crocodile, à la Morrison, her tears indicate she’s done the wrong thing. JacquiLambie

Boo Hoo you clot JacquiLambie. You know how to assess someone’s health better than doctors do you? You are clearly not up to the job of being a senator. Quit and let an intelligent adult take your place.

Bullshit JacquiLambie. And to think we thought for a second you were holding out to secure their safe resettlement in NZ. The BILLIONS we have spent perpetuating these people’s suffering for 7 YEARS just to quiet some rednecks is a national shame. medivac LNPfail refugees

The real crime was that it was allowed to pass in the first place

Shame on you Senator Lambie. It's a dark day for this country and humanity. I hope it was worth it?

My beef with repealing the medivac bill comes down to how much taxpayer money and time the government wastes on removing something that has no effect on citizens or the security of the country against how little it spends on fixing a climate problem that will destroy it.

JacquiLambie with the 'secret national security' BS, thought she was slightly more honest than the corrupt government lead by ScottMorrisonMP, PeterDutton_MP and AngusTaylorMP. Bunch of heartless liars.

MorpheusBeing Lambie just condemning innocent asylum seekers to continued misery and despair. Racist Xenophobic NotInMyName

MorpheusBeing Repealing medevac = child abuse. JacquiLambie endorses child abuse. auspol politas

I call BS!

And now we watch all of the snowflakes melt 🔥❄🔥🥳🥳🥳 Ready,....... Set,....... GO! 🤭😂🤣

Excellent. Absolutely the right outcome. auspol

Should have voted against it she is just as heartless as the government

Giving basic medical care to sick people is 'contentious' in Australia. That says it all.

That flaming potato white supremacist will be hally.

Brilliant 👋👍. Well done .

Jacquie Lambie's career is now on life support.

Crocodile tears. Don’t fall for it.

Pathetic Lambie

Sickening 🤮🤮🤮🤮🥵😡😪

Oh cry me a river JacquiLambie you sell out. If you were that sincere you'd tell us what the secret deal is auspol

BrettMasonNews The END of your career JacquiLambie. What was the secret deal worth KILLING people for?

Really? That's the reason? Then again how many of us are actually surprised she would back this? Given her past history?

Really hope you're out of a job next election. Shame on you JacquiLambie You decided to side with the cruellest government.
