New fears over Australian IS brides

They’re pleading with the Australian government to bring them home, but dangerous assumptions are being made about brides of Islamic State fighters who could pose ongoing security threats if they return Down Under.

They have consorted with criminals, assaulted people, misused credit cards, been drunk, abusive, taken illicit drugs, boasted about their access to cheap cocaine, and had sex with the victim of a crime they were investigating. One cop was found with child porn, one with unauthorised ammunition and explosives, and one tried to get a friend off a traffic infringement notice. Another was caught stealing from a colleague during a training course. A different cop told lies about an inappropriate relationship.
