As these women—all of them—supported their husbands who were
fighting as terrorists with ISIS, I'm concerned they too may have
been radicalised.
It's going to pose a costly challenge to our security organisations,
according to sources speaking on condition of anonymity because
they are not authorised to comment publicly.
There may not be enough evidence to charge all the women with
terrorism offences, so some will require monitoring by the authorities.
The government could also charge some with intentionally entering
Raqqa or Mosul, which were the capitals of ISIS in Syria and Iraq,
and that
were illegal at the time for Australians to enter.

Do we really want to see a minor flood of these rabid Muslims—complete
with niqab—populating our streets? In fact, one could ask if they'll even
be allowed by law to wear the niqab in Australia, as it effectively hides them
100% from being identified.
Can we guarantee that their breaking the law once, won't lead to them
breaking the law—here—again? Obviously not.
