Shorten’s ‘political antenna’ failed him on medivac bill | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Kieran Gilbert says Labor leader Bill Shorten's ‘political antenna’ failed him when it comes to the medical evacuation bill.\n\nLabor has changed its position on the refugee evacuation bill, with the caucus on Monday backing amendments to the bill that would strengthen a minister’s right to veto doctor-ordered medical transfers of asylum seekers.\n\nLast year, Labor senators voted in favour of the medivac bill, helping the legislation pass 31-28.\n\nThe medivac bill, which was introduced to the House of Representatives by Wentworth MP Kerryn Phelps, aimed to give doctors the final say on whether a sick asylum seeker should be transferred to the mainland.\n\nThe Coalition is opposing the legislation in any form, claiming the medivac bill will undermine Australia’s border protection regime.\n\nMr Gilbert says the Opposition does not want an extended political debate around border security, which is an issue that has been ‘so problematic’ for Labor.\n\n\n\n\n

Convicted criminals could be transferred to Australia under medivac bill: Porter | Sky News AustraliaFULL INTERVIEW: Attorney General Christian Porter says the medivac bill that passed parliament this week would allow people convicted of a serious criminal offence to travel to Australia for medical treatment.\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\nNationals leader Michael McCormack was criticised on Thursday for claiming that the Home Affairs Minister would be unable to stop ‘spivs, and rapists and murderers' from being transferred to Australia for medical care.\n\nMr Porter told Sky News that under the amendments Labor put forward, an asylum seeker convicted, but not sentenced yet, of a serious offence can still be transferred to Australia.\n\nHowever, he could not nominate whether any asylum seeker currently housed on Manus Island or Nauru would fit this definition.\n\n\n
