lionheartleojai martinennals This award & one to BehrouzBoochani shows the type of person that we are keeping imprisoned. All for political point scoring. People who could really contribute to our culture. Regardless of their ability to express or articulate themselves, every refugee is valuable.

martinennals “Detainee”... theirABC still sitting on a throne of lies

martinennals Clearly not dangerous then if he can be flown halfway round the world to pick up an award that shows how pathetic the Australian government is. I feel as if I’m living Through the Looking Glass. He must feel surreal.

martinennals Can you prove you are not? If you can please do so!

martinennals Didn't Switzerland offer him asylum? If not, why not?

martinennals I hope they give him Citizenship now

martinennals Australia should be charged for crimes against humanity.

jarrodmckenna martinennals Wonderful to see some light shining into our dark places.

martinennals Illegal migrants thumb their nose at our laws yet ABC aggressively supports them Look at his backing. Who paid for these trips or advocated for him? The money logistics and legalities involved were not minor or incidental We need to know. His supporters are not Aust’s friends!

martinennals Illegal immigrants entering this country effectively thumb their nose at Australia, yet ABC aggressively promotes their cause Also who paid for his trip? Who made his cause known? The money, logistics and legalities what kind of backing does this man have? Who are these people?

martinennals He should claim Asylum in Switzerland problem solved.

martinennals Is he coming back ? Hope not

martinennals go n apply for refugee in Germany One less cost to us

martinennals Can’t they take care of him in Switzerland.? Plus all the others.. what’s the point of awards?

martinennals And how many safe countries will he pass through this time?

martinennals He had to go back.

martinennals Perhaps he could seek asylum there!

martinennals so he is not a 'refugee' then

martinennals I feel this should never have been in doubt and then I look at the LNP record, including their record with UNHCR, and realise there may have been a possibility of him being refused permission.

martinennals well why doesn't he seek asylum in Geneva.

martinennals Such terrible conditions on Manus, can i go to Manus metoo.

Peter Dutton confirms medivac laws do not apply to new arrivals | Sky News AustraliaHome Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has confirmed new laws fast-tracking medical evacuations for asylum seekers will not apply to new arrivals to Manus and Nauru.\n\nThe controversial laws passed the Senate 36 votes to 34 on Wednesday, in a humiliating defeat for the coalition a day after suffering a historic loss in the lower house.\n\nThe laws, which only apply to around 1000 asylum seekers currently on Manus Island and Nauru, give doctors more say in recommending medical transfers to Australia.\n\n\n\n so a new arrival at manus that requires medical assistance won't get it ? absolute rubbish. The flood gate is open. You idiots. For now.... It shouldn't be called medivac, instead it is back door, sicky, queue jumping

The idea that people are dying on Nauru due to lack of treatment is ‘rubbish’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says the idea that people are dying on Nauru due to lack of medical treatment is ‘rubbish’ and is a ‘vicious smear’ against the government. \n\nShe says 'there is no lack’ of medical treatment on Nauru or Manus Island because there are at least 65 health professionals to treat the remaining 427 ‘boat people’. \n\nMs Credlin says setting up a doctors’ panel with the authority to order asylum seekers to Australia for treatment is ‘a massive softening’ of Australia's border protection regime. Auspol Credlin lying as usual. But she is glowing No mental health facility which is the most needed because of liberal policies and no real operating theatre, Yeh great fucking hospital auspol
