- 0:04Speaker 1: Front's afternoon headlines. The Australian Federal Police say they'll be
- 0:09Speaker 1: making arrests when so called Isis brides finally returned to Australia.
- 0:13Speaker 1: On Thursday, a group of four women who were married
- 0:16Speaker 1: to fighters of the Islamic State to hardest group, along
- 0:19Speaker 1: with their nine children, are on their way back to
- 0:22Speaker 1: Australia from Syria, where they've been held in grim refugee
- 0:26Speaker 1: camps since the so called caliphate crumbled. It's the end
- 0:30Speaker 1: of a long story of obfuscation by the federal government,
- 0:33Speaker 1: State and Commonwealth officials have been preparing for the family's
- 0:36Speaker 1: inevitable return, all while the government has denied any involvement,
- 0:41Speaker 1: despite issuing them passports and making arrangements for their reintegration.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Here's AFP Commissioner Chrissy Barrett.
- 0:49Speaker 2: So for more than a decade, investigators when possible, have
- 0:53Speaker 2: been collecting evidence and information in Syria at a time
- 0:57Speaker 2: when Syria was a war zone with no functioning government.
- 1:02Speaker 2: That evidence and information was to determine whether Australians who
- 1:06Speaker 2: traveled to Syria may have committed Commonwealth offenses, including terrorism offenses.
- 1:12Speaker 2: I will not flag how many individuals will be arrested
- 1:15Speaker 2: or when they will be arrested to protect a number
- 1:19Speaker 2: of our investigations. However, I will confirm these points. Some
- 1:24Speaker 2: individuals will be arrested and charged, some will face continued
- 1:29Speaker 2: investigations when they arrive in Australia.
- 1:33Speaker 1: The Australian confirmed one of the women, Jenia Safar, will
- 1:36Speaker 1: be arrested for questioning when she arrives in Sydney. Barrett
- 1:40Speaker 1: said children returning to Australia from Syria will be required
- 1:43Speaker 1: to join programs aimed at community integration and countering violent extremism.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Police sources said the group would receive government assistance to
- 1:52Speaker 1: help them reintegrate. Here's Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, there are.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Very serious limits on what can be done with respect
- 2:01Speaker 3: to preventing a citizen of a country returning to their country.
- 2:05Speaker 3: The legal threshold that we have is with respect to
- 2:09Speaker 3: temporary exclusion orders. I have received advice in one instance
- 2:14Speaker 3: so far of that threshold having been met, and when
- 2:18Speaker 3: I received that advice, I acted immediately and that exclusion
- 2:21Speaker 3: order remaining in place.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Australia Spyboss Mike Burgess said ASIO would monitor the group.
- 2:28Speaker 4: Of course, it's up to them what they do when
- 2:30Speaker 4: they get here, and if they start to exhibit signs
- 2:33Speaker 4: of concern us, we and the police through the Joint
- 2:35Speaker 4: Canniterrism Teams, will take action. But I'm not concerned immediately
- 2:39Speaker 4: by their return, but they will get our attention as
- 2:41Speaker 4: you'd expect.

- 3:09Speaker 5: wear this all the time.
