FOREIGN Minister Julie Bishop yesterday slammed Islamic State terrorist Khaled Sharrouf, saying he has no respect for human life — including that of his own wife and children.

Sharrouf, who was believed to have been killed in a drone strike in Syria last year, has reportedly survived and has been making threatening phone calls home.

The government could not confirm if he was dead days after news broke that his convert wife Tara Nettleton had died in Syria four months ago from ­appendicitis complications.

Their five children are still in the terrorist stronghold of Raqqa, and Ms Nettleton’s mother Karen has appealed to the government to help bring them home.

But yesterday Ms Bishop said Sharrouf was entirely to blame. “Mr Sharrouf joined the violent terrorist organisation Daesh in Syria and Iraq, and recklessly brought his wife and five children into a conflict zone,” she said.

“If Sharrouf is alive it is clear he continues to show the same lack of concern for human life, ­including that of his family.”

Deputy opposition leader Tanya Plibersek described Sharrouf as “repugnant” and said: “I don’t think people shed a tear when the reports of his death came through.”

Someone claiming to be Sharrouf phoned Australia and made death threats over proceedings by the NSW Crime Commission to seize a home he bought in 2013.

Muslim community leader Jamal Rifi said the authorities should do everything in their power to seize Sharrouf’s assets.
