So, in what should be a surprise to absolutely no one, we are taking back an alleged ISIS terror suspect and her children. Why?
Because we snoozed, and we lost.
ScoMo snookered us. Australia was first out of the blocks in revoking this woman’s citizenship – she had both Australian and NZ citizenship, but she hadn’t lived here since she was 6.
When she was captured on the Syrian border and detained by Turkey for deportation, Australia promptly revoked her citizenship so she couldn’t go back there.
They did this on the basis of her travelling to Syria on an Australian passport in 2014 to join ISIS.
