Based On Recent Opinion Polls, PM Says He Doesn't Know Or Care Where These ISIS Brides End Up

The Prime Minister has said due to recent opinion polls that show an increasing number of Australians are allegedly growing tired with immigration and migrants on the whole, he doesn't know where these ISIS brides will end up if they get denied entry to Australia. Nor does he care.

In a wide-ranging press conference this morning in Canberra, Anthony Albanese explained in careful detail the government's position again for those who can't seem to understand it.

"Let me make it abundantly clear," he said.

"Due to the fact that One Nation is polling higher than ever before, it is the government's position that these people who left Australia to join a terrorist state, will have to suffer in their jocks. I sincerely don't care. Maybe a few years ago but right now, it's the government's position to cut them loose. Where they end up? Who cares."

The position is at odds with Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, whose electorate has one of the highest proportion of Muslim voters in the country, who has taken this opportunity to get behind his community and lobby the government for more to be done.

However, the Prime Minister says anyone with a functioning brain can see through it.

"It would be negligent of Tony to not take up the plight of these terrorist sympathisers. He's in genuine danger of losing to a Muslim independent at the next election, which would be pretty grim. At least you can have a beer with Tony after work. He gets good tips for the Canterbury races as well. Probably couldn't have secret lock ins at Royal Marrickville with The Hon Tariq Bakir MP, either. But having a 9pm long black and a shisha doesn't sound too bad, either."

As for the matter of the ISIS brides themselves, Albanese reiterated that the government's position is concrete and may God have mercy on their souls.

More to come.
