Embassies are not geared up to do that. They can't even process asylum claims. We should take back all our citizens, and screen them to assess any risk they pose. If they deserve to lose their freedom, they should be locked up here.

The UN should be tasked with providing safe havens where these women could work to support their children & if family back here want to contribute then even better. To simply just bringing them back is as irresponsible as letting them go there in the first place. We simply can not afford any longer to keep letting such people make such decisions if they know they're gonig to be brought home when the wheels come off !
There has to be a point in all our lives where responsibility starts !

One of the Muslim countries will take them and treat them very well.
Why would they want to come back to Australia when there are so many of their fellow politico/religionists who will welcome them with open arms?

What is a 'Muslim country'? Why would they take these people? They are OUR citizens, we MADE them this way. Dutton and Anning spewing hate on Muslims has to be accepted as part of the reason

A Muslim country is a country where Muslims are in the majority and a really caring Muslim country is one that is governed under Sharia law; who wouldn’t want to live there?
Human rights prevail over all else and refugees are always most welcome.

In fact yes, most refugees on earth are in 'muslim countries'.

I'm willing to bet large sums you have no clue what sharia law is. Why would a country take in our citizens, just because it's run by Muslims? Are you saying Muslims are better human beings than we are?

I mean, maybe....
