Small changes mean big implications for border protection | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says while the medevac bill is ‘not a massive change’ to Australia’s border protection, ‘small changes in this area can have big implications’.\n\nLabor is trying to ‘down play’ the issue, Mr Kenny says, and in doing so have pointed to a key part of the legislation that ensures these laws only apply to those on Nauru now, not to any future asylum seekers. \n\nMr Kenny says former Labor leader Kevin Rudd promised asylum seekers arriving on boats would never get to Australia, but in passing the legislation changes, they have ‘gone back on that promise’.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n chriskkenny Yeah? Well Shorten unzipped his fly and we’ve all seen it. Too late dickhead chriskkenny They can “ wiggle “ as much as they like but they are just dumb !

If people smugglers think the doors are open, they will come: Dutton | Sky News AustraliaHome Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has compared the medical evacuations bill before parliament to opening Australia’s doors to a flood of people smugglers and ‘14,000 people in Indonesia ready to hop on boats now.’\n\nMr Dutton has told Sky News there’s no sense in being big-hearted ‘only to find that a boat turns up the next day to refill the places with new arrivals’.\n\nHe says it’s exactly what they did after former prime minister Kevin Rudd won the federal election in 2007.\n\nThe bill, brought forward by Independent MP Kerryn Phelps, would give doctors the power to transfer ill refugees and asylum seekers from offshore processing facilities to Australia for medical care. \n\n\n\n\n This is what you have done. Are you telling us this victimised human being, someone’s beloved son, brother, husband is a threat to our nation. No one believes you

Can you pass the Australian citizenship test?A backlog of citizenship applications waiting for approval includes thousands of would-be Aussies who had to resit the test several times to pass. If one cannot pass the test with 20 correct answers out of 20, one should not be allowed as a citizen..... it took me less than 5 minutes when I took it..... Don't need to pass your test, born in Kalgoorlie as my grand parents were.☺️ Did your fathers father father pass the test . Oh I forget , he broke the door down and stole the house

Citizenship not 'too far away' for Hakeem al-Araibi, PM saysHaving started the week in a Thai jail, footballer and refugee Hakeem al-Araibi meets with supporters and politicians including the Prime Minister in Canberra to thank them for their role in getting him home. Man i bet the ABC tweeted this through gritted teeth. If only the people on Manus and Nauru had had the foresight to become good at sport before attempting to flee to Australia, they'd have saved themselves a lot of trouble. What a bloody hypocrite Morrison is. Meanwhile he is organising for the torture of 300 other asylum seekers. Stop doing PR for him & do your job ABC. Report on his mindless cruelty. auspol
