Sky News host Peta Credlin says while it is understandable boat people, most of whom are economic migrants, want a better life, Australia is under “no obligation to give it to them”. Ms Credlin said, “just like a sore that won’t heal… the medevac ramifications get worse each day these laws remain in place”. On Monday, it was reported more than 20 refugees had been flown to Australia under the controversial medevac laws even though they were approved for relocation to the United States.
An Iranian man, accused of setting an accommodation block alight on Manus Island, will also be moved to the country on mental health grounds, according to The Australian newspaper. Ms Credlin said it was critical to remember “that Labor is to blame” for this legislation and for “boat people” attempt to enter Australia. “Labor is soft on borders and will find almost any excuse to allow asylum seekers, even those proven not to be refugees, to come to Australia”.

London Bridge terror attack 'was terrible but not surprising' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says the recent London Bridge terror attack “was terrible but of course not surprising”. \n\nThe attack claimed the lives of two people, and the man who carried out the rampage, Usman Khan, who was a former prisoner convicted of plotting to bomb the London Stock Exchange, was shot dead by police. \n\n“This is what we have become inured to, Islamist terrorists deciding they have to kill innocent people as part of their hateful destiny,” Mr Kenny said. \n\nMr Kenny criticised the fact the attacker, “who was a known Islamic terrorist,” and “who had been convicted on terror offences” was allowed to be released from prison. \n\nUsman Khan had been free for almost a year, and was wearing an electronic tag, when he was shot dead by police.\n\n“He was released from prison and was in touch with authorities about rehabilitation and deradicalisation”. \n\n“The worry here is that deradicalisation programs don't work”. \n\nImage: Getty
