## Resource

A group of Australian women known as the 'ISIS brides' and their children have returned to Australia from Syria this week. We'll explain the background to that, and why legal experts are calling their legal case “completely unprecedented”. Australians will have access to more of our plentiful gas reserves from next year under the new government policy, so we’ll bring you up to date there. And there’s been an outbreak of a deadly virus on a cruise ship, which has had us absolutely gripped this week.
