Those sick patients have now been evacuated from the ship at Cape Verde in Africa and are being flown to the Netherlands for treatment.

Strict hygiene measures are also in place on board.

Yeah, as to what happens next, the ship is heading north towards Spain's Canary Islands, where people will be allowed to disembark and fly home.

One Nation could be in hot water after plastering campaign signs outside pre-polling booths ahead of the Farah by-election, declaring support for Ben Robert Smith.

The call flutes, which show Australia's most decorated living soldier in uniform with the words, he fought for us, One Nation stands with him, have appeared in the Southern New South Wales electorate and legal experts are warning the signs could land the party in serious trouble.

One Nation, though, says it's standing by the signs, telling the ABC, we're the only party which has expressed support for Ben Robert Smith, and we're making sure voters in Farah know it.

So it's very much the One Nation playbook here that we're seeing coming out.

Now he's a One Nation candidate and his tone is changing and there's a lot of discussions about, you know, who is this guy and what are his real aspirations.
