Kind of disconcerting to me they block them.
These are Australian citizens ? If they aren't there no issues, if they are, let them in. If they have committed a crime put them on trail. Not sure what the issue is.
That someone can arbitrarily decide whether or not an Australian citizen can enter the country is a bit shit.
From what I gathered before, and I could be wrong, the government aren't going to fly them back to Australia. If they pay for their own way back one of them is blocked and seems like the rest will face charges.
I feel sorry for the children, less so for the parents who should know better. But I assume the women were forced by their beliefs to follow their husbands.
There are no winners.
