Federal Liberal M-Ps are reportedly pleading with Prime Minister Scott Morrison to get more than 80 children and their asylum-seeking parents off Nauru.

Newscorp is reporting government backbenchers Russell Broadbent, Craig Laundy, and Julia Banks believe the situation in the Pacific island detention centre has now reached a “tipping point”.

Mr Broadbent and Mr Laundy met Mr Morrison last month [[September]]  to ask for all of the children and their ­families to be brought to Australia, giving priority to the children who need urgent medical treatment.

Under their proposal, the asylum seekers would be in Australia only temporarily -- either in detention or on community bridging visas -- until they were resettled in a third nation.
