IT PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had an appointment, then had to go to the chemist. I had a lovely friend keeping me updated via phone and it happened while I was in the chemist. I almost burst into tears, there and then. lol. It still needs to be signed off by the GG and then it will be done. I cannot say how happy I am. At last, those poor women and men in our government's care will now get th emedical help that they so desperately need. It sbeen quite a fight and I am now feeling suddenly tired. Next thing will be to end inhumane treatment of asylum seekers and refugees. That battle continues. I am so happy! I am drinking a glass of champagne while watching the Senate vote that I had recorded. Did I say that I am happy?

Skynews were saying this morning that he wasn't likely to back it... wishful thinking on their part I'd say
they actually cause a lot of trouble by confusing their "opinions" with facts

That's what I thought Maggie. He spat the dummy and sent out a message to people smugglers.

No doubt there's a better class of people amongst the refugees than the scum we have running the current government.

And, payback has begun on Manus. PNG Immigration stormed the PNG hospital and tried to remove some of the refugees. They succeeded with one and told the others that they will be back for them tomorrow. These men are very unwell and have waited a long time to receive any care so to have armed uniforms, shouting, no translators, just fear, coming at you would have been terrifying. Is it to deny that these men are sick so that they are not evacuated? Is it just further torture? I expected Morriscum and the toxic Tuber to do something nasty and I suppose that this is only the beginning.

imo these tweets show how dishonest and downright stupid our Govt are.
David Speers Verified account @david_Speers 5h5 hours ago More I’m told Australia’s intelligence agencies believe “the beast is stirring” since the passage of medevac bill. They are trying to ensure “the beast doesn’t wake up”. (The beast is the people smuggling trade fyi). Details on Sky after QT.
David Lipson Verified account @davidlipson 6h6 hours ago More In Indonesia, few noticed or cared that the Government lost the medevac bill. However, the Prime Minister's announcement that he's reopening Christmas Island for business is making a splash.

and this tweet just made me Hey @realdonaldtrump , our Minister for Homeland security @peterdutton_MP is apparently trying to send you a whole lot of 'rapists' and 'paedophiles' from our detention centres on Manus and Nauru. Just thought I should let you know..since we are allies and all

I won't be surprised if all on Manus and Nauru will be transferred to Christmas Island. The Medevac Bill is only for those on Manus or Nauru.

that sounds like what Morrison and Dutton are trying to do, to thwart the bill AC... but they 'll be out of Govt. soon
I hope the people who need medical help can hang on a bit if they have to

Abbott - still waffling...
"The former prime minister said there were three independents sitting in “what would normally be Liberal seats” who were “pretending to be Liberal-lite”.
“Well they’re not Liberal-lite, they’re worse than Labor,” he said.
“Don’t let these so-called independents fool you. When it comes to border protection and other topics, they are worse than Labor. They’re not Liberal-lite, they’re Labor in disguise, except in many instances they’re worse than Labor.”
Labor x 4
Liberal-lite x 3
Liberal x 2

Dutton and Morrison only have one notch on their belt. Stopping the boats. That's all they've got, nothing else. Torturing desperate refugees.

They tow the boats coming from Indonesia back to sea. Boats are still arriving from other countries but not as many. No one knows how many deaths at sea have occurred due to the tow back policy.
I've been told that it would be against the law for those on Manus and Nauru to be transferred to Christmas Island. I don't trust Morriscum and Co and would put nothing past them.
This is from Telegram. Telegram is used by the men on Manus to keep us updated with what is going on there.
Manus Alert, [14.02.19 03:59] [In reply to Manus Alert] Hello, today doctor Dr Trevor Smal with six PNG immigraton men came in my hospital room and threatened me and take me by force outside hospital.
Dr Trevor Smal pushed me outside hospital and threatened me and now l living in the hotel under threat.
I am 55 years old. I came to PIH by emergency. I cant walking.
They pushed by force I fall down on ground I got dizzy and to much headache. They surround me and threatened more one hour. After that Dr Tevor gave wheelchair and they put me on by force and doctor Drevor was angry aggressive when pushed me outside hospital and threatened me.
@manusalert
Manus Alert, [14.02.19 04:05] [In reply to Manus Alert] [ Album ] Dr Trevor Smal and PNG immigration have told another six men that the same thing will happen to them today Thursday. This forced discharge happened after the Medical Evacuation bill passed in the Aus Senate. @manusalert

Aziz made a scathing and heartfelt speech after winning the Martin Ennals Award. He intends to go back to Manus in 2 weeks as planned. The only link that I have to his speech is via FB. It is worth listening to. He is brave, intelligent, kind, compassionate, resilient and I am so proud to call him my friend. Such a shame that he will return to Manus but the men there need him.
I would say that once Christmas Island is up and running again, there will be no more tow backs, so that boats aplenty shall begin to arrive.

Ah, I've been told that it would be subverting Parliament's law if they did transfer from Manus and Nauru to Christmas Is.
A young man in Indonesian detention prison has self immolated. The people stuck in Indonesia [Indonesia is not a signatory to the Human Rights Convention and the conditions are appalling] are being kept in conditions worse than on Manus and Nauru.
Did anyone see the pic of Morriscum refusing to shake Shorten's hand? What a petulant bastard we have pretending to run the country.

the Paladin story is really taking off on twitter now... lots of people investigating it and some pretty dodgy stuff coming up.... as with the Barnaby Joyce/vicki Campion baby story, ( we all knew about it 6 months before the press released it), the press aren't touching it much yet. though I did note that Laura Tingle gave it a mention on 7.30 report one night this week. for anyone interested, the AFR have run a series of articles on it... David Hodgson. (Paladin).. is another happy clapper www.paladincorp.com.au/aboutus/8thmountain.com/team/dave-hodgson/
