So the situation with the ISIS brides is they 6 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 2: try to leave on Monday the rog detention center. They 7 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 2: got turned back. Do we know why? 8 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: Well, the government will deny it, but it does look 9 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: like the women and children were basically blocked and blocked. 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: You know. The Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was on the 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: ABC this morning, a very extensive interview and you know 12 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: the government will deny it, but it looks like, you know, 13 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: the government was saying albanezis saying that, you know the 14 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: government will not lift a finger to repatriate these women. 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: Not so long ago, the government's saying they deserve to 16 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: come home. I mean it's a group of eleven women 17 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: and twenty three children, many of whom were born there. 18 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: And the women and I think in almost every case 19 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: they went there either with or followed husbands from Australia 20 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: in most cases who were killed while fighting for ISIS. 21 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: So there's no men involved in their life anymore of 22 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: them and stuck some of them for six years in 23 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: a refugee camp, living under canvas and tents. Now you know, 24 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: they call me a cynic Heather, but I can't believe 25 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: for a moment it's not related in some way. The 26 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: government position is not related in some way to the 27 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: elevation of Angus Taylor and the very hardline rhetoric he 28 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: is adopted in terms of immigration and also that of 29 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: one nation fall in Hanson, howling from the rooftops about 30 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: how they know it was bad Muslims everywhere. Now you 31 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: know in Syria right now, there's a very prominent Sydney 32 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: GP Jamal Riffi. He is a Muslim doctor and Sidney, 33 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: very political man and active in this space. He's apparently 34 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: traveled to Syria. Excuse me please, he's traveled there and 35 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: he's endeavoring to get these women and children out. The 36 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: families of the women are saying this afternoon, look, it's 37 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: any matter of time that will be coming home. The opposition, 38 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: of course, howling about this, saying there's no way known 39 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: they should be allowed back. 40 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: Now I means, right, must listen, is what is the 41 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: plan when they come back? Because surely there's going to 42 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 2: have to be some extensive I don't know what we 43 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: would call wrap around support for them and monitoring presumably 44 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 2: for years. 45 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: Well, don't forget there's already a cohort that's come home 46 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: and exactly that a scenario. We haven't heard of boo 47 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: from these people. They've been home for years. I'm not 48 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: sure of the exact numbers, but there have been people 49 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: coming back from the Middle East in this exact same circumstance. 50 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: They have been widowed in that dreadful conflict, in that fighting, 51 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: and they have been allowed to come home the temperatures changed. 52 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: And as I say, eleven women, thirty four children, twenty 53 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: three children, a total of thirty four Australian citizens, and 54 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: they're being denied access to their home country. 55 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 2: All right, how's man to be interesting? 56 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: Watching a play? Politically?

He was on his way 61 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: to work this morning, coming down from the family home 62 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: at Green Acres South where Sydney Lovely Street and there's 63 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: a guy, well, two men at the bottom of the 64 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: driveway in an SUV vehicle.

Then the Guvernment's back in the 67 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,839 Speaker 1: car and gone, and the car has been torched only 68 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: a couple of streets away.

But 76 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: until they can have an extensive interview with him, I'm 77 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: not sure if it's going to happen this afternoon after surgery. 78 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: It maybe tomorrow or the day after. They're looking for 79 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: links though, with others who may have criminal ties, not 80 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: en specifically, perhaps other family members, and don't forget his 81 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: wife and children inside the family home when he was ambushed. 82 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: So it's pretty down serious, Yeah. 83 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: Very much sounds like it. Mos is the world shock 84 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: that you guys are doing okay at the Winter Olympics apparently. 85 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: I mean the Canadians are going, oh my god, what's 86 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: going on? Finland I think they go Lord of Australia, 87 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: and the Chinese, well, I'm not sure what they're saying 88 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: with their all bloody healthy at the Aussies, because none 89 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: of the aforementioned Canadians, Fens or Chinese athletes have done boo. 90 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: But Australia's got three gold, one silver, one bronze medal 91 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: and more to come. Jakara Anthony, for example, backed up 92 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: the gold medal from four years ago with another one 93 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: here in Courtina.

And Australia's eleventh for the medals table.
