- A group of seven Australian women and 12 children, linked to the Isis group, were expected to arrive in Sydney and Melbourne from Syria.
- Home Minister Tony Burke stated that the government would not provide assistance and those who committed crimes would face the full force of the law.
- This follows a previous repatriation less than three weeks ago, where three of four returning women were charged with slavery and terrorism offences.
- Australian law enforcement and intelligence agencies have long-standing plans to manage and monitor these individuals upon their return.
- At least two Australians are expected to remain in Roj camp, Syria, with one woman previously subject to a temporary exclusion order preventing her return.
