I look at this as a father. I would want my children brought back to Australia to face our Laws. Yes, most of these girls willingly went to Syria and beyond. But they were arguably children when they left and were arguably groomed for their roles. Bring them home and treat them as Australians in the courts.

@nicholaslibertyrx5322 You mean people of Middle-Eastern appearance, don't you? Mate, in the 70s people like you, whined about the Asians. Before that, it was Greeks and Italians, long before that it was Chinese. Give it a bloody rest. If you're not Aboriginal, you come from immigrants that arrived here less than 300 years ago.

@nicholaslibertyrx5322 'They'...It's not 'they' mate. It's all of us. There are many, many more Australian-born people rorting the system than immigrants. I have worked and I've used welfare various times between the 70s and a few years back. Some claim honestly, some don't. 'They' have nothing to do with it. The system was designed to help those in need so that people didn't die from starvation or turn to crime to make ends meet. It's failed us on many levels.

@nicholaslibertyrx5322 It's welfare. You, me and every other citizen is entitled to it if circumstances deem it appropriate. Welfare is not racist.

@tubester4567 I stand by my argument. Bring them back, then charge them. IT's arguably treason, which, last time I looked has you locked up at Her Majesty's Pleasure. That is, Life unless you're really lucky.

@happyme3556 I'm Atheist, so I ignore the religious side of it. These girls committed crimes against our Country's laws. Yes, they were more than likely groomed or coerced, but they did the crime. Therefore they need to be brought home to face our justice, not the 'justice' of a foreign country. They could well face life sentences for Treason here. So ge it. If it was my daughter I'd want her back here so I could kick her arse too, but that's purely hypothetical. My daughters were raised to fiercely think for themselves and have good hearts. And so far (36 and 22) they're going okay.
