Government refuses to help suspected ISIS fighters return

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke states the Australian government will not assist 13 suspected ISIS fighters detained in Iraq who may soon be released from prison and attempt to return to Australia. Burke explains the legal limitations of exclusion orders for citizens, noting they are temporary measures with a high threshold to meet. He emphasises that 45 men who fought with ISIS had already returned to Australia before the current government took office, and all returnees face strict surveillance by ASIO and the Australian Federal Police.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
