Taylor snaps at journalist as Liberals ramp up rhetoric against Australian children in Syrian camp

Opposition leader suggests 23 children and 11 women attempting to leave al-Roj are ‘ISIS sympathisers’

Angus Taylor has suggested the Australian children remaining in a Syrian detention camp are “ISIS sympathisers” as the Liberal party ramps up its rhetoric against the families of dead or jailed Islamic State fighters.

The opposition leader also chided a member of the press for attempting to force his response on why the group of 23 children and 11 women should be another country’s responsibility.
