Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said federal police would continue investigating the women with links to Islamic State who have returned to Australia.
“Of the two cohorts that have arrived in recent weeks, there are three [women] currently behind bars,” Burke said.
“One charged with entering a declared area, two charged with crimes against humanity. No one should presume that at any point in time the work of the Australian Federal Police, in terms of investigating and gathering evidence, is over, and I would remind those opposite before we came to office, 45 people who had gone [to the Middle East] to fight had self-managed their return.”

ABC’s head of news quits, and his successor will likely be external
The ABC’s most senior news executive, Justin Stevens, has resigned after four years in the job, and the search for his replacement is already close to completion.
Stevens, the former executive producer of flagship current affairs program 7.30 and since 2022 director of news and current affairs, leaves the ABC on Wednesday after overseeing a period of vast change in Australia’s largest newsroom.
With just under 2000 staff in the news division, the role is the most scrutinised in the broadcaster outside of managing director Hugh Marks’ own position, overseeing news content published across the public broadcaster’s television, radio and digital platforms.
