Peter Dutton says women using rape and abortion claims as ploy to get to Australia

Home affairs minister says 'some people are trying it on' in an attempt to get to Australia from refugee centres on Nauru

Peter Dutton has said women have been "trying it on" in claiming they were raped and needed an abortion as part of a ploy to get to Australia for medical treatment from refugee centres on Nauru.

Speaking to Sky News, the home affairs minister claimed the women then changed their minds on arriving in Australia and sought a legal injunction to prevent their return to offshore detention.
