Tribune’s note
Butler's day split across two distinct issues. On national security, he confirmed three women and nine children linked to Islamic State have returned to Australia and face serious criminal charges, and he criticised the previous government for not deploying available temporary exclusion orders. On community health, the government announced up to $1.5 million in conditional funding to keep Cohealth GP services running at three Melbourne sites for up to 12 months while governance reforms are bedded down.
