Australian Backs ASIO Monitoring Capabilities
The Australian government has reiterated it will not repatriate a group of 13 women and children suspected of having links to ISIS. These individuals are part of a larger group of 34 women and children held in Syria's al-Rajid detention camp for seven years. Reports indicate some members of the group are planning to fly back to Australia. The government maintains its stance against repatriation despite the group's movement. Deputy Prime Minister Richard Miles stated this morning that the Australian government has not and will not assist in the repatriation of the ISIS-linked group. Taylor expressed support for the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) during a press conference. This follows attempts by members of the cohort to return home from a Syrian refugee camp. Taylor declined to comment on specific confidence levels regarding the agency's role in this specific case.
