    An asylum seeker who botched a DIY penis enlargement by injecting himself with palm oil has been transferred to Australia under controversial medevac legislation so he can undergo genital surgery.

    An Iranian man, who was detained in Port Moresby, was transferred to southeast Queensland last month after he experienced swelling, discomfort and limited function, The Sunday Mail reports.

    Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton is reported to have approved the transfer last month because of the limited grounds he has under Medevac to stop accused criminals from coming to Australia when surgery cannot be done abroad.

    The man has been in southeast Queensland for three weeks, where he is in detention and receiving treatment before the surgery, which is expected to be funded by the taxpayer, is scheduled. He arrived by boat in 2013 and was transferred from Christmas Island to PNG.

    The man, in his mid-30s, racked up almost 50 incidents while in PNG, and was arrested for throwing boiling water on a security guard.

    The Sunday Mail reports the man is engaged in the US resettlement process but has failed to attend numerous appointments.

    While the initial surgery is expected to cost up to $10,000, taxpayers are facing an indefinite cost for the man given there is no explicit return mechanism for those who have been transferred under Medevac laws.

    Labor and the crossbench rammed the medevac laws through parliament earlier this year, and the government is now trying to unwind them.

    The laws give doctors a much greater say in the evacuation of sick refugees from offshore detention to the mainland for medical treatment.

    Medical evacuations can be refused on national security grounds, or if a person has a serious criminal record.

    However, Mr Dutton claims his powers to block transfers have been drastically curtailed.
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    Amputation of the infected part that was self-inflicted.
    That way the patient would be in and out of hospital in no time.

    Agreed. Then return him from whence he came.

    I might have some more sympathy if the person had not arrived here uninvited and it was not self inflicted.
    Maybe scrap the surgery and just send him home.

    Maybe I should show some compassion.

    Give him 2 Panadol and then send him back where he came from. On 2nd thoughts NAH the money can go to better use by the local Australians.

    Sorry to spoil a good beat up, he evidently did try a penis enlargement, but he stuffed his ankle, and it is the ankle that will be operated on, but i bet they have a peek at his pecker when he is on the operation table

    Aaaahh...interesting. At least thats the story. Who reported it was the ankle? Did they also report that he assaulted one officer supposedly after his porn was removed (tch tch, he's muslim) and apparently poured boiling water over another?

    Sounds like he's a humanitarians ideal example of a future citizen. The ALP will love him.

    I hope none of it is true, I really do. Then we wouldn't look like the biggest joke on the planet.

    Maybe Phelps should be forced to take this AH on as a boarder so she can see the error of her ways.

    My under standing is that the operation on his ankle is unable to be done in New Guinea so hence his trip to Australia
    They then shunt him back to where he belongs

    As far as I have been made aware, virtually none have gone back....maybe crap, but I wouldn't trust any of the reporting on this issue.

    I have read the same. As well as :



    Only four of the 111 refugees and asylum seekers transferred to Australia under controversial medical transfer laws have been admitted to hospital for treatment. Mr Pezzullo told the Senate committee hearing that one of the 111 transferred asylum seekers was refusing treatment. None of those transferred remained in hospital as of Thursday and almost two-thirds were "not even outpatients", he said.

    And 3AW :

    Troubling new figures suggest asylum seekers in offshore detention are using the medevac laws to rort the system and enter Australia.


    Yesterday, head of Operation Sovereign Borders, Craig Furini, told Senate estimates that 135 asylum seekers in offshore detention have been transferred to Australia for medical treatment since the landmark legislation was passed in March.


    Of those, only 13 went to hospital upon arrival in Australia, while five refused treatment altogether.


    But those who did not receive medical treatment cannot be returned to their country of origin, or offshore detention in Nauru or Papua New Guinea.


    Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said Australia has been conned.


    “This was always a bill about getting people here through a back door,” he told 3AW’s Neil Mitchell.


    “It’s without precedent that you have a government being dictated to, being told that people must come to your country, and then when they’ve received the medical attention they can’t be returned back to their country of origin or back to Nauru or Papua New Guinea.”


    Of those who have come to Australia under the medevac laws, six have been flagged as security concerns.


    “We’re worried about the fact that they may have committed crimes and we’re compelled to take that person, I just don’t think most Australians support that!,” Mr Dutton said.


    “We’ve had six of those cases now, there are two more in the system as well, and I think people are laughing at us. It’s infuriating.”


    “We’re now stuck with these people.


    “It’s a bad bill for our country.”


    Mr Dutton called for the reversal of the bill.


    “By allowing these people into our country we are allowing people in who have the potential to assault, to commit crimes while there here, and that shouldn’t be a feature of our migration system,” he said.


    “We must have a discretion where people are of bad character to stop them from coming to our country.”
