Islamic politics professor: Australia did wrong thing morally on Suhayra Aden

There are suggestions that New Zealand wouldn't necessarily be safer if Suhayra Aden was left overseas.

The 26-year-old, who has links to ISIS, is being let back into the country with her two young children, after being held in a Turkish immigration detention centre

She had dual New Zealand/Australian citizenship, but Canberra tore up her passport last year, without telling our Government.

Deakin University chair of global Islamic politics, Greg Barton, told Mike Hosking Australia did the wrong thing morally, and New Zealand has been left to pick up the pieces.

“This idea that leaving people offshore makes Australia, or any country, safer is not just morally foolish, but actually works against national security.”
