Border battle looms as Labor back amendments to medivac bill | Sky News AustraliaFederal parliament will resume today for the first time in 2019 with the asylum seeker medical transfer bill to dominate talks. \n\nLabor is negotiating with crossbench MPs to change the proposed new laws after the party’s caucus endorsed compromises to the medivac bill ahead of a vote in parliament. \n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison has warned the bill will weaken Australia’s borders and promises there will be no changes to border protection policies. \n\nThe Coalition has vowed not to support the amendments, meaning Labor will need six of the seven crossbenchers in order to pass the legislation through the lower house.\n\n\n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n ScottMorrisonMP Is he handing out money there because he always is lately, must be an election coming?
