Health for Refugees again

The government has gone over the top since the legislation was passed. THIS is a good explainer.

Let us go through this again.

The Boat turnback has worked. The boats are still coming as Defence confirmed this in Senate Estimates. The boats are simply being turned back.The government is both proclaiming this but saying it might not work in the future.

Next the Government is saying they are bringing people to Australia for healthcare but it is under the radar. It is so under the radar the Parliamentary library put out a paper  on it. This is why the boats have continued.This is regularly updated.

Next people who come to Australia are in detention.In other words they are still in gaol. They are merely getting treatment they cannot get in either Mannus or Nauru. Moreover Morrison has said he is opening up Christmas Island to any future refugees that need medical help.

Next is that there is no such thing as an illegal refugee. People who have a fear of being killed or  persecuted can attempt to go to any country they wish.

GPs are not specialists. They may be able to diagnose a problem but do not have the expertise to overcome it..This is no different to living in the country. You have to go to a regional centre to see a specialist and sometimes, a lot of times, go to a capital; city for an operation.

If the government is worried about mental health problems growing how about sending some psychiatrists to both places then?

The legislation provides for the Minister to say no i f say the PNG police force say one of the people concerned is  to be charged, is charged a or is strongly suspected of a crime.

Under Dutton's rules Hakeen  ael-Araibai if interned at Mannus or Nauru could not be allowed into Australia as he is a convicted criminal even though the crime was clearly concocted for political reasons.
We know countries such as China, Vietnam, Bahrain, Iran et al do this

update:
The legislation only refers to Asylum seekers and refugees. Given all have been there for the duration of this government we can assume that people are refugees or not refugees.
Hence no person of 'bad' character could be allowed into Australia, No pedophile, rapist or murderer. After all Dutton would not give such people refugee status would he?
