Some parliamentarians and a lot of doctors want refugees that have been diagnosed by TWO doctors and need specialist care only available in Australia to be sent to Australia for that specialist care.
This would seen common sense and one would think why on earth is it not policy now?
Well it seems the Government has a number of reasons. All are specious.
First of all it would send a positive message to people smugglers. Huh?
Can you imagine the marketing they will expounding. Yes you can get to Australia IF you get to Australia, IF you are then on a prison island to all extent and purposes and then get severe mental health problems!!
It also means their messaging on boat turnbacks is paradoxical. IT works now as no boats ever get to Australian shores. Therefore this policy is terrible for people smugglers yet apparently it is not working because the doors would be unlocked as dozens of boats if not more would come and arrive on Australian shores. ( Even when this did occur the government disgracefully sent the people back to that fantastic democratic country Vietnam.)
So boat turnbacks work well but they also do not!!
Another reason was murderers, paedophiles etc would then come to Australia. A few problems here. firstly you cannot be a refugee and anyone of those things. Secondly you will not the government did not name names.Yes they were demonising refugees yet again. Also important here it the ridiculous assertion that ALL refugees would come to Australia. It is both ironic and shameful that no from the government did not recognise if this was true it was THEIR fault.
Surely if you are a simple decent human being you would want your fellow man or woman to get the health care they need.
