(NZ Herald) Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the New Zealand woman identified as an international terrorist by Turkish authorities should have been deported to Australia.
The woman, named by ABC as Suhayra Aden, has been known to New Zealand and Australian authorities “for some time,” Ardern said.
The 26-year-old left New Zealand at 6-years-old to live in Australia and became a citizen. She left from Australia for Syria and travelled on an Australian passport.
It is a series of events that has also brought frustration from our Muslim community, with Islamic Women’s Council national co-ordinator Aliya Danzeisen saying: “Australia just keeps sending people back to us. It smacks of injustice and a lack of partnership.”
