A national associated with the Islamic State (IS) group may be prohibited from entering Australia for a maximum of two years. The individual is one of 34 Australian women and children who were liberated from a Syrian camp earlier this week and attempted to return home, but were denied entry by Syrian authorities for “technical reasons.”
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke stated on Wednesday that the restriction was given “on advice from security agencies” and that the remaining 33 individuals did not fulfil the “required legal thresholds” for a ban.
Canberra has refused to repatriate the group, which is thought to consist of IS fighters’ wives, widows, and children. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emphasised that the government will not provide assistance for these families to return to the nation, as there are 23 children among them.
He said, “You lie in your bed, you make it, during a press conference on Wednesday.These individuals made the decision to travel abroad in order to support a violent, reactionary ideology that aims to erode and destroy our way of life.
