Dutton admits that the services offered to people in detention aren’t as good as those offered in Australia in a way that was meant to embarass those that declared that was the case in the first place. Do we guess he hates “tourists” for clogging up the system as much? (ODT)

But Mr Dutton immediately dialled up his attack on Labor’s support for the medical transfer legislation, which will allow critically ill refugees and asylum seekers to come to Australia for treatment, claiming it would result in Australians missing out on healthcare at hospitals.

The law passed against the minority government’s wishes with the support of Labor and the crossbench.

“People who need medical services are going to be displaced from those services, because if you bring hundreds and hundreds of people from Nauru and Manus down to our country, they are going to go into the health network,” Mr Dutton told reporters on Thursday.

“I don’t want to see Australians who are in waiting lines at public hospitals kicked off those waiting lines because people from Nauru and Manus are now going to access those health services.
