Four women, referred to as 'ISIS brides', and nine children are expected to arrive in Australia imminently from Syria, with the Australian Federal Police (AFP) prepared to make arrests. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke confirmed that while the group has plans to travel to Australia, the government has not provided any assistance. The women and children are set to land in Sydney and Melbourne after flying from Qatar. AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett indicated that some individuals would face arrest, although she did not specify how many. The Australian government has been investigating these women since 2015, gathering evidence to determine if they committed any Commonwealth offences, including terrorism and crimes against humanity. The minors in the group will be required to participate in community integration programs and receive therapeutic support. Despite the group's return, ASIO chief Mike Burgess stated that the national terrorism threat level remains unchanged, although they will be monitored closely. Burke reiterated the government's limited options to prevent citizens from returning to Australia, noting the legal challenges involved.
