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.
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.
The Australian government says it has not helped with the repatriation attempt and is now under pressure from a newly shaped Opposition to block them from returning.
