Australians are continuing to head to Syria and Iraq to fight with Islamic State despite the government's new anti-terror laws.
Attorney-General George Brandis revealed the number of Australian foreign fighters had increased from an estimated 70 last year, to about 90.
Among them were young women and teenagers, a new trend Senator Brandis described as worrying.
The parliament last year passed a suite of security laws that among other things made it illegal to travel to a declared area without a legitimate excuse.
