(NCA NewsWire) The four “ISIS brides” repatriated to Australia alongside their children could be subjected to control orders, with the matter under investigation.
The Australian Federal Police Commissioner Reece Kershaw told senate estimates there was also an active investigation into whether the women had breached Australian laws.
The first cohort of Australian citizens from Syria arrived in Sydney late last month after years spent in internally displaced people camps following the 2019 fall of Islamic State.
Their husbands have either been jailed or killed while fighting overseas.
The first cohort have been settled in Sydney, with more women to follow and be spread across NSW and Victoria.
