Taylor's First Question Time: ISIS Passports & Criminalizing Aid

About this episode

Angus Taylor, Australias new opposition leader, led question time for the first time, directly challenging Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on reports of passports issued for ISIS returnees. Albanese countered with the Liberal governments record of forty returnees, including actual ISIS fighters, and criticized the oppositions inconsistent stance. Taylor, in a pre-question time interview, proposed criminalizing non-government groups aiding the return of Australians linked to terror groups, and became defensive when questioned about details.

This is Corey, with Sydney News Today, powered by the Daily News Now. Australia's parliament saw a big change today, with Angus Taylor leading question time for the first time as opposition leader. He replaced Susan Lay last month after she resigned. Taylor went straight after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, asking about reports that 34 passports were issued to help bring back people who joined ISIS. He's hit back hard, noting that 40 people returned home under the previous liberal government, including actual ISIS fighters. He pointed to comments from former liberal leader Peter Dutton, who said Australian citizens have a right to return, calling out the opposition's flip flop. Before the questions kicked off, Albanese welcomed Taylor to the top job and gave a nod to Susan Lay's long service. He highlighted her 25 years representing her community and her historic role as the liberal party's first female leader. In a pre-questioned time chat with reporters, Taylor pushed his plans to criminalize non-government

groups and people aiding the return of Australians. Blink to terror groups. He stressed the need to block ISIS sympathizers from coming back. Taylor got testy with one journalist pressing for details, questioning if they were an activist instead of a reporter. He lumped together the women who supported ISIS and the 23 children in the group, refusing to draw a line. This story is shared with support from our sponsor.
