Australian Gov’t Reimports Islamic Savages

It is not only the execrable Labor/communist gov’t that is deceiving us. They did that with the support of the Libs, which makes it even worse. The Al Bozo Government lied about ISIS brides returning to Australia. They facilitated the return, Now they are telling us “ISIS brides slipped back into Australia under‘self-managed returns.” The Albanese government has declined to strengthen criminal provisions that allowed a returned ISIS bride to face no conviction, leaving legal experts concerned about public safety.

Labor refuses to strengthen laws after ISIS bride escapes conviction
The Albanese government declined to strengthen criminal provisions that allowed a returned ISIS bride to face no conviction.
The Albanese government declined to strengthen criminal provisions that allowed a returned ISIS bride to face no conviction.
It comes after two ISIS brides and four children returned to Australia on September 26, with no public charges being laid against the cohort. The latest returns follow a previously repatriated bride, Mariam Raad, who in June 2025 was discharged conditionally and received no conviction. The AFP told SkyNews.com.au that only one individual has been charged since 2019 with travelling to a declared zone. There has been at least six returned ISIS brides. “Since 2019, and as at 10 September 2025, the AFP, through Joint Counter Terrorism Team arrangements, has charged one individual with declared area offences contrary to s119.2 of the Criminal Code (Cth),” a spokesperson said. Despite this history, the Attorney General’s Department has refused to consider strengthening sentencing laws. Continued below
Andrew Wallace, LNP Federal Member for Fisher I just got thrown out of Question Time today for demanding answers, and I’d do it again. Recently the Prime Minister told Parliament the Government didn’t provide any assistance to the ISIS brides. Yet today his own Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said it would have been illegal not to. So which is it? Did Labor help bring them back, or are they misleading the Australian people? Either way the Prime Minister and his Minister can’t get their stories straight. Australians are rightly concerned that women who joined the ISIS caliphate are now back in our communities, and the Albanese Government has been caught out hiding the truth. SkyNews.com.au contacted the office of Attorney General Michelle Rowland to ask if she was satisfied with existing laws after the “no conviction” ruling. “Sentencing of an offender for a Commonwealth criminal offence is ultimately a matter for the court,” a spokesperson from the Attorney-General’s Department said. “The court imposes a sentence or makes an order that is of a severity appropriate in all the circumstances of the offence. “The declared areas provisions in the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) are an important part of the Australian government’s efforts to stop the flow of foreign fighters and the risk they pose to Australia on their return.” Security agencies said they were tracking the returning women and children, and the Australian Federal Police told Senate Estimates that “appropriate investigations” had begun. Under the Criminal Code, it is an offence to intentionally enter or remain in a declared area of a foreign country where a terrorist organisation is engaging in hostile activity. The Al-Raqqa province in Syria — where many foreign fighters joined the Islamic State — was formerly listed as a declared area between December 2014 and November 2017.

Entering, or remaining in, declared areas (1) A person commits an offence if: (a) the person enters, or remains in, an area in a foreign country; and (b) the area is an area declared by the Foreign Affairs Minister under section 119.3; and (c) when the person enters the area, or at any time when the person is in the area, the person: (i) is an Australian citizen; or (ii) is a resident of Australia; or (iii) is a holder under the Migration Act 1958 of a visa; or (iv) has voluntarily put himself or herself under the protection of Australia.

Independent MP Dai Le, representing the multicultural electorate of Fowler, said the government must prioritise community safety. “My first priority is the safety of the residents of Fowler,” Ms Le told SkyNews.com.au on Thursday. “Many in my community — Assyrian, Chaldean, Mandaean, Yazidi, and minority Muslim families — were victims of Islamic State. “It is simply not acceptable that they may now have to live alongside people who once supported that same terrorist group.” Ms Le acknowledged the Australian ISIS brides’ citizenship rights but said there were also obligations to community safety. Home Affairs Secretary Stephanie Foster confirmed in Senate Estimates on Wednesday the department did not seek an exclusion order to stop the group from returning. “There must be ongoing review of whether these individuals should face charges, and strong monitoring and rehabilitation measures… to protect our community,” Ms Le said. “I support compassion for children and case-by-case decisions. But settlement must not be in traumatised communities like Fowler without iron-clad safeguards.” Legal academic and Sky News contributor Rocco Loiacono criticised the government for failing to utilise its existing powers. “It appears to be a case of the laws simply not being applied,” he told SkyNews.com.au on Thursday. “As I understand it, the government itself declined to use these exclusion powers to keep the ISIS brides offshore.”
During Senate Estimates on Wednesday, AFP Assistant Commissioner Stephen Nutt confirmed that Home Affairs was told of ISIS bride repatriation plans from June 6. This appeared to contradict Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s claim on September 3 that reports of ISIS brides’ repatriation were “not accurate”. Mia Schlicht, research fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs, argued the government’s approach has undermined public confidence. “At no time has the Prime Minister been upfront and honest with Australians in relation to the return of these potentially dangerous individuals to our country,” she said. “First, Australians were told that these individuals were never to return, and now the federal government has backflipped. “Mainstream Australians would rightfully be concerned that laws put in place have not been enforced in the name of community safety. “It beggars belief that individuals who willingly and willfully visit declared terrorist zones are not at the very least tried using the laws supposedly in place to protect our security.”
Neither the two Australian women or their children who returned have been charged. Assistant Commissioner Counter Terrorism & Specialist Investigations said the AFP was conducting an investigation related to managing counter-terrorism. “I can assure you that we have appropriate criminal investigations underway … as part of an Australian cohort offshore and their return,” he said.
