Oliver Peterson: Australian correspondent on the decision to help families of Islamic State terrorists
Manage episode 342882379 series 2098282
Over in Australia, their Government has made the decision to rescue the families of known Islamic State terrorists.
These people will be repatriated back to Melbourne and Sydney, and significant work will need to be done to help them readjust to society.
This has been viewed as a u-turn on the former Government's previous decision to disallow people back into Australia if they followed family members over to the Middle East to fight on behalf of the Islamic State.
Oliver Peterson, our Australian correspondent, is here to explain this course of action and the divided public response.
