So we should leave people in need of emergency medical treatment on Christmas Island without care?
Jeez - if that doesn't show you the way this thing is handled, nothing will..
As I said - a great argument for a return to onshore processing - which is in reality no different and is less costly and has benefits, such as steadily acclimatising refugee claimants to Australia and its ways, teaching them the ropes...
Look what happens when you get the kinds that get in under the 'normal' process - 'sexual emergencies', groping women, rape as a right, jihad, violence, drug trafficking for the ready money, welfare dependency, rorts of government handouts and schemes such as childcare at home, cheating on Social Security while hubby owns two businesses ..... you name it....

I'm in favour of something like the Snowies Scheme, so that people can learn, earn their way into this nation, and be assessed along the way..... if they're worth keeping, they're in - if not - adios... no more Open Borders for those who come here through the 'normal' system..... no more instant citizenship (two years) and probationary only for ten....
