The police source said they “got fed and we didn’t”.
The Australian government made the decision to import ISIS people, described as ‘brides’ of ISIS terrorists, to Australia at the urging of some figures in our government with links to the Turkish Islamist regime. (I wrote about this insanity last year.)
And PM Anthony Albanese (above), who never met an Islamic terrorist he wouldn’t pander to, is giving them the best possible treatment.
Speaking on claims the ISIS-linked cohort were fed pizza, the police source said they “got fed and we didn’t”.
The terrorists always come first.
A federal government source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said it was “ridiculous” the group received “VIP treatment” upon their arrival.
“It sets a precedent that you can willingly travel to a declared terrorist zone run by Islamic State and come back with a red carpet rolled out for you from a side exit,” the source said.

DCJ workers had assisted the women and children upon landing with an almost three-hour health assessment, before they were whisked away in government cars to the hotel.
“Any access to government services is assessed in line with the same eligibility requirements that apply to other Australian citizens,” a DCJ spokeswoman said.
“NSW has well-established arrangements in place to manage any returnees, with community safety as the overriding priority.
Whose safety?
“It sets a precedent that you can willingly travel to a declared terrorist zone run by Islamic State and come back with a red carpet rolled out for you from a side exit,” the source said.
As muslims expand in any government, expect them to steal from the citizens under the guise of "charity".

Boy...I hope I’m wrong but it seems like Australia (and Britain...and Canada) have gone farther down the plughole than we have!
They clearly have. A great deal of it comes from importing copious numbers of people from other cultures.
It is the “great replacement” obvious to anyone who watches.
The theory is the simplistic Leftist ideology of “we’re all the same, all over the world” which is a false dogma beyond the natural law of “all are equal in the eyes of god”.
The Leftist philosophy is a silly corrupted version of the “noble savage” where the further you are from Western culture and civilization, the more “moral” you are.
Create the chaos that leads to order.
Yup....just as I’ve noted in my tagline.
NYC’s been doing the same stupid thing, for a couple years.
As the US State Department pressured the Australian government to allow these women to return, I think trying to say this says something significant about Australia, that isn’t also true of the United States would be drawing a long bow.
Yes...our policies under “The Big Guy” (Biden...”ten percent to the Big Guy”) were utterly depraved,as were Biden and his puppet masters. If it happened under Trump all I can say is that there have been so many Maoist plants hired in various departments (including Justice and State) that we have no idea how many or where they are. And flushing them out can’t be done overnight.
Washington drives Syria deal to return Australian ISIS brides
Paywalled, but I'll share the start and the end. The article is from April 28th 2026.
The US has intervened to secure the imminent departure of four Australian ISIS brides and their nine children from Syria, with the Iran war ceasefire creating a brief window for their removal.
After months of stalled negotiations, the breakthrough is believed to have been driven by high-level diplomatic pressure from the US State Department, the UN and Red Cross, despite the federal government insisting it was not pursuing repatriation.
.....
On Tuesday, Anthony Albanese said the ISIS brides made their children the victims of “evil choices” and refused to offer any details about the group’s return.
The Prime Minister insisted that “intelligence information” should be kept confidential and said his government had not offered any support.
“My views have not changed with regard to people who went overseas and chose to support Isis rather than Australia, when ISIS had an objective of setting up a caliphate to literally attack democracies like Australia,” he said.
“I think these children are victims of their parents’ bad choices, evil choices, to undermine Australia’s national interest.”
The latest effort has drawn global attention, with organisations including Human Rights Watch watching developments.
For all its faults (and there are many) the Albanese government had been holding the line on not letting these women return to Australia. Until the US State Department got involved.
Now, they have to manage their return. As the children - and possibly even some of the women - have not necessarily committed any crimes, they are being held in secure hotel accommodation while their status is determined (at least one has been charged with serious offences at this point, and is now in a remand prison because a threshold has been met). Yes, it's a very good hotel, but it's being used because it's easy to secure.
I don't pretend to know why the US State Department did what it did in this case. Maybe this was a price they felt was reasonable to enhance the peace process. Maybe somebody even misguidedly and naively thought they were just assisting trapped citizens of an allied country.
But this mess isn't just ours.
I'd love to hear what Secretary of State Rubio (or one of his top aides) might have to say regarding this matter.
I can't say I know a lot about your current PM. But I can say that Mr Howard,for example,struck me as a respectable and admirable man but just about everything I've heard about Albanese suggests that I probably wouldn't vote for him if given the chance.
Just sayin’...
As you probably know we have the New York Post,Fox News and talk radio as "conservative" outlets but just about every other one is to the left of Beijing's Peoples' Daily.
Generally speaking - the ABC and SBS (which are our two government owned (well, it's complicated for SBS, but basically - it's 80% government funded but is allowed to draw from other sources) broadcasters lean left - particularly to what we call the green left here. They are not particularly necessarily supportive of the Labor Party's type of socialism, but that of the greens, but they certainly prefer both over conservatism. Both are supposed to be politically neutral and balanced (because of the fact they are publically funded) but that certainly isn't true. Constant criticism and efforts to change ABC practice happen, but nothing really changes.
Besides that... OK, newspapers tend to be owned by one of two conglomerates in Australia. Nine Entertainment owns The (Melbourne) Age and The Sydney Morning Herald. Generally I would call both of those left leaning. They also own the Australian Financial Review - it probably does lean left but less so - the economic side of it means it needs to be less blatantly socially political as the people reading it are mostly interested in money.
News Corp Australia, which is a subsidiary of Murdoch's News Corp, owns most of the other major newspapers in Australia - The (Melbourne) Herald Sun, The (Sydney) Daily Telegraph, The (Brisbane) Courier Mail, The (Adelaide) Advertiser, and The (Hobart) Mercury, as well as the national The Australian. News Corp Australia papers tend to lean slightly right at least in Australian terms but make a specific effort to have some sort of balance, by hiring some specific left wing columnists.
Sky News Australia is also owned by News Corp Australia, and has a similar lean. The only other significant 24 hour news channel is ABC 24, which like the rest of the ABC leans left (and probably helps make a left wing commercial 24 hour news channel - or even a neutral one - economically unviable).
I rarely watch commercial television news anymore but when I last did, I would say most of it leaned left.
The best sources of 'conservative' news in Australia is often the Australian editions of a couple of British online newspapers - the Spectator and the Daily Mail both have specific Australian editions. So does the Guardian (although that leans left - I actually quite like the Guardian despite its leanings because at least it's openly honest about the fact that they are partisan).
