In short:

The federal government says it will not help Australian relatives of ISIS fighters return home from Syria, where they have been held in refugee camps for more than six years.

A group of 11 families left the Al-Roj camp last night with plans to eventually make the journey to Australia, but were forced to turn back by Syrian authorities.

What’s next?

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke says the federal government is getting advice on whether the threshold for temporary exclusion orders has been met.

Well they are Australians I think they should at least be allowed back. Though I would expect this welcoming back to involve being put on trial for terrorism, war crimes and many many more things. I think it’s fair to let the Syrian government handle their prosecution should they pursue that path.

    Yes they are. They also treat women like literal garbage. These women should be vetted of course but they at more likely to be escaping ISIS than coming to preach.
