Overseas fighters could face Aussie citizenship cancellation
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop
The federal government says it's prepared to take strong action against Australians who leave the country to support or fight with militants in Iraq or Syria. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says these people pose a significant national security risk if they return to Australia after being radicalised. She says she's already cancelled a number of passports of Australians suspected of fighting with insurgent forces overseas. The government is also indicating that it might consider cancelling the Australian citizenship of dual citzens actively fighting with the militants.
