The Coalition is gravely concerned about reporting that half a dozen ISIS brides and their children have secretly returned to Australia.
This is a highly dangerous cohort of individuals who associated themselves with the barbaric Islamic State Regime. The Albanese Labor Government must come clean: either they knew about this cohort returning and hid it from the Australian public, or worse, family members of Islamic State terrorists returned to Australia without the Government’s knowledge.
This is nothing short of a dereliction of duty by the Albanese Labor Government. These are people who willingly travelled to a war zone and aligned themselves with one of the most barbaric terrorist organisations in history.
Now they appear to have returned secretly, raising fundamental questions about how and why they were allowed back in. Australians deserve answers.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke have either bungled this process or deliberately concealed it. Either way, they have invited risk into our communities without transparency, without consultation, and without the knowledge of the Australian people.
Tony Burke should front up to every community where these people will be housed and explain why they were let in and how the Government will ensure community safety.
Assyrian Christian Australians, victims of ISIS themselves, have been ignored once again. Their communities may now be forced to live alongside those who chose to support the very terrorists who inflicted such horrors upon them. The Coalition will pursue this matter relentlessly until the Australian people receive answers to these questions.
