House of RepresentativesThursday 9 October 2025

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms LEY (Farrer—Leader of the Opposition) (14:11): My question is to the Prime Minister. In September, the Prime Minister was asked about returning ISIS brides and repeatedly said: The Australian government is not providing assistance to this cohort. But evidence at Senate estimates confirmed that the government assisted with medical interviews, assisted with DNA tests for children, assisted with citizenship-by-descent claims and assisted with passports.

Why did the Prime Minister tell Australians one thing whilst doing the exact opposite? Mr Dreyfus interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Isaacs is warned. Do not interject while questions are being asked.
