Last IS-linked Australian woman from Syrian camp to return despite previous ban

An Australian woman linked to the Islamic State group has been given authorisation to return to Australia, after the government was advised it could no longer enforce a criminal exclusion order. The home affairs minister, Tony Burke , said the woman would face an unprecedented level of security monitoring once she arrives in the country, including constant monitoring and requirements to report to authorities regularly. She is the last of a group of Australian women and children who sought to return home from a refugee camp in northern Syria, years after traveling to the Middle East with husbands and fathers who were fighting with the Islamic State terror group. Burke told ABC radio the permit to travel was the final stage of the temporary exclusion order process governing the woman’s movements.
