Nobody wants to see Australia's borders weakened: McCormack | Sky News AustraliaFULL INTERVIEW: Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack says the passage of the medivac bill could weaken Australia's border security.\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\nMr McCormack claimed the legislation will also allow 'spivs, and rapists and murderers' to be transferred to Australia for medical treatment, which is factually incorrect according to the legislation.\n\nLabor says the bill is only designed to allow sick asylum seekers to gain access to medical treatment in Australia.\n AlboMP The neg gearing and franking credit policies are horrendous. They are bad politically and leak votes. It fits the LNP narrative and it may cost you seats. AlboMP I agree, the problem for me is I do not like most of the policies. But in saying that it is clear what you intend to do if elected. AlboMP Thanks for opening the borders to sick, single male muslim phoney refugees who are laughing at us as they earn $5.00pr hr cash in hand in their countrymens's shops while getting the dole and free medicare etc, etc etc. from us taxpayers.
