Lambie chokes back tears as she supports medevac repeal | Sky News AustraliaThe contentious medevac bill has been repealed in the Senate after the government secured the support of key crossbench senator Jacqui Lambie. \n\nThe Tasmanian senator choked back tears on Wednesday as she said her decision to vote with the government was “a matter of conscience”. \n\n“I can’t let the boats start back up and I can’t let refugees die, whether it’s sinking into the ocean or waiting for a doctor,” she said. \n\nLabor accused the government of entering into a secret deal with the crossbench senator to push the deal through; a suggestion Finance Minister Mathias Cormann rejected.\n\n“There is no secret deal, there is no secret,” he said. \n\nMr Cormann’s rejection was contradicted when Senator Lambie told the Senate she successfully struck a deal with the government on a confidential national security matter. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia
