Three Australian women with alleged ties to ISIS were arrested at Melbourne and Sydney airports, leading to significant political debate. The women face serious charges, including crimes against humanity, as they reportedly traveled to Syria in 2014. The Albanese government, represented by Finance Minister Katy Gallagher, has pledged to allocate necessary funds for monitoring and rehabilitating these individuals, with costs potentially reaching $2 million per person. In contrast, the Coalition has labeled the situation a 'national security scandal,' criticizing the government for not doing enough to prevent the return of these individuals. Opposition frontbencher Sarah Henderson and Deputy Opposition Leader Jane Hume have raised concerns about the government's management of returnees, arguing that more should have been done to prevent their re-entry into Australia. Gallagher defended the government's actions, stating that plans for managing returnees have been in place since 2014 and that the Australian Federal Police (AFP) are adequately equipped to handle the situation.
