ISIS brides spark national security showdown


Listen Later

Opposition Leader Angus Taylor and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese clash over the return of 11 ISIS brides and 23 children from Syrian camps, with both sides adopting tough rhetoric on national security. The government has placed a temporary exclusion order on one ISIS bride, but laws introduced by the Morrison government set a high bar for exclusion and were designed to monitor returnees rather than prevent their return. Since 2013, approximately 80 ISIS fighters, brides and children have returned to Australia, with only 10 charged and an unknown number convicted, as proving cases beyond reasonable doubt requires evidence from countries like Syria.
