Description
The Federal Government has ruled out providing assistance to a group of Australian families - with links to Islamic State fighters - who are trying to leave the Al-Roj camp in north-eastern Syria.
Senator James Paterson has been announced as the Shadow Minister for Defence. He argued that temporary exclusion orders (TEOs) could be appropriate for some of these families.
TEOs allow the government to block Australians aged 14 and above from entering Australia without a permit for up to two years if they are deemed to be a national security threat.
