Controversy Arises as Australia Temporarily Bans Citizen from Returning Home

Australia has temporarily banned a citizen from returning home from a Syrian camp, invoking powers to prevent terror activity. The move comes as 34 Australians are set for potential return, igniting debate and boosting support for anti-immigration party One Nation.

Australia announced on Wednesday a temporary ban on one of its citizens returning from a Syrian camp, amid attempts to curb potential terror activities.

Thirty-four Australians, held in a Syrian facility for families of suspected Islamic State members, are expected to return following conditional release but faced issues with documentation in Damascus.

The decision sparked controversy and increased support for the right-wing One Nation party, highlighting political tensions over national security and immigration policies.
