0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Today's biggest News from The Australian. I'm Christanamio with the

0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Front's afternoon headlines. Three so called Isis brides will spend

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 1>time in police custody after returning to Australia from Syria.

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Corsa Abbas and her daughter, Zanab Hmad appeared in Melbourne's

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:22.439
<v Speaker 1>Magistrates Called on Friday, where they're charged with crimes against

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>humanity offenses. Commonwealth prosecutors alleged fifty four year old Corsa

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Abbas was complicit in the purchase of a female slave

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>for ten thousand US dollars after traveling to Syria with

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>her husband in twenty fourteen. They say the woman was

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:41.520
<v Speaker 1>then knowingly kept in their home as a slave. She's

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>been charged with enslavement, possessing a slave, using a slave,

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>and engaging enslave trading, offenses that carry maximum penalties of

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty five years in prison. Prosecutors say Zanab Armad knowingly

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>kept a slave in the family's Syrian home. She's been

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>charged with enslavement and using a slave. Abbas and Armad

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>arrived in Melbourne with Armad's children on Thursday night. The

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 1>mother and daughter were arrested by the Victorian Joint Counter

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Terrorism Team at Melbourne Airport on their arrival. The women's lawyer,

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Bill Doug indicated his clients will formerly apply for bail

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>on Monday. They've been held in the Al Roj camp

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>in northern Syria since the collapse of the so called

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:27.479
<v Speaker 1>Islamic State Caliphate in twenty nineteen. Another woman, Jeni Safar,

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>also arrived in Sydney on Thursday night, where she was

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>charged by Australian Federal Police with entering and remaining in

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 1>a declared conflict zone and joining the Islamic State terrorist organization.

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>The former nursing student appeared in the Downing Center Local

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Court on Friday. Safar was refused bail and will remain

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>in custody until her next hearing on July fifteen. Her

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 1>legal representatives argued separating Safar from her young son would

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>be quote potentially traumatic after years in the Syrian camp,

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>but Judge Daniel Covington ruled that didn't meet the exceptional

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>circumstances required for bail to be granted. Prime Minister Anthony

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Albanesi told Nova Radio anyone who's found to have broken

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>the law will face quote the full force of the law.

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I have nothing but contempt for people who go overseas

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 2>to essentially assist in whatever way people who want to

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:27.919
<v Speaker 2>attack our way of life. That's why though we have

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 2>to do because we are different from us, we actually

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 2>support the rule of law. Australian citizens are entitled to

0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Australian passports, they're entitled to come into Australia. What we're

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 2>entitled to do, though, is to throw the book at him,

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 2>and that's precisely what we're doing.

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Sports Minister Anaka Wells has apologized for making what she

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>calls honest mistakes in taxpayer funded travel expense claims. It

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>emerged in December that Wells had charged taxpayers thousands of

0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>dollars for so called family reunion travel to make just

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>sporting events around the country. An audit released by the

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority found four elements of twenty five

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 1>of those trips didn't fully comply with the parliamentary expense rules.

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Well said in a statement she accepts the ipea's findings

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and has repaid the costs plus penalty loading to the

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>tune of just over ten thousand dollars. The celebrated naturalist

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough turned one hundred on Friday.

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>You can see his incredible life in pictures right now

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>at the Australian dot com dot au and come back

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>to the front first thing in the morning for a

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>unique perspective on Mother's Day and the ultimate expression of

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 1>motherly sacrifice. That's right here, Saturday morning.
