ISIS brides preparing to return to Australia

0:00New cohort of ISIS brides and their children is now reportedly on their way back to Australia after locking in airfares. They departed a refugee camp in Syria over the weekend, but could face charges on return here. It's political reporter Josh Martin. Good afternoon. It is illegal for Australian citizens to go overseas and assist foreign fighters, ministers say our security and intelligence agencies have been watching these women. Three of the ISIS brides come from Melbourne originally, the other from Sydney. The group moved from the al-Ros refugee camp on the weekend to Damascus in Syria. The Sydney morning held is reporting they now have airfares to return to Australia. The government source says it doesn't have any indication of the purchase of flights that would be triggered through the passport system. The group did get temporary passports earlier in the year.

1:01Barnaby Joyce is calling for temporary exclusion orders to be placed on these women, though the legal threshold for that is extremely high. The agencies must aim them a direct or indirect risk to Australia's security. They were raping. They were murdering. This is what their hubbies were up to. They were over it, comforting their hubbies. We have issued a temporary exclusion order for one. They were all over their helping their hubbies, murder and rape people. So let's kick them all out. Barnaby Joyce says there should be temporary exclusion orders placed on these four. Is it that simple? Is that possible? Well, again, I'm writing to go into the specifics in relation to individuals. We have explored and indeed put in place exclusion orders in relation to people where we have been able to do that. The Australian government is not repatriating these people. We've made this really clear. After Australian law, the government must give passports to Australian citizens. There is a large, cohort of ISIS, Brides and children who remain in the Syrian refugee camp.
