Government stands firm on not assisting or repatriating IS families in Syria

The last remaining Australian women and children with links to the I-S group have been sent back to a Syrian camp after attempting to repatriate themselves home. The group of 34 left al-Roj in the country's northeast overnight - but a communications issue with Damascus forced their return to the camp.
