"Australian Federal Police Commissioner Krissy Barrett stated that some members of the group would be taken into custody upon arrival, while others remain under active investigation. The children will receive psychological support and participate in programmes focused on countering violent extremism and community integration."
"Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke condemned the women for travelling to Syria, stating, 'They made an appalling, disgraceful decision.' He warned that anyone found to have committed offences would face prosecution, emphasizing that the law would be applied without exception."
"Burke acknowledged that the Australian government had not assisted the group's return but noted serious legal limits on preventing Australian citizens from returning to the country. Investigations into citizens who travelled to Syria to join ISIL have been ongoing since 2015."
