(AAP) The federal opposition has claimed the repatriation of the so-called ISIS brides has turned a western Sydney issue into a nationwide problem after one was granted bail in a NSW regional court.
At the same time the former NSW counter-terrorism minister has said he was receiving different advice on the safety of repatriating the women and their children prior to the Albanese government taking office.
Mariam Raad, 31, was granted bail by a NSW regional court on Friday after being charged with entering and remaining in parts of Syria that were under Islamic State control.
She was arrested on Thursday in Young, in the state’s southwest, where she had been living since being returned in October.
