Murray Olds: Australia Correspondent talks ISIS brides and neo-Nazis heckling at ANZAC ceremony

Author: Newstalk ZB April 27, 2026 Duration: 8:20

A group of four women and nine children have secured flights to Australia from Damascus over the weekend, re-sparking conversations about ISIS brides returning to their home countries. 

Additionally, associates of a recently disbanded neo-Nazi group were removed from an ANZAC ceremony for booing and heckling the speaker.

Despite the group officially disbanding in January due to hate speech laws, Australian correspondent Murray Olds says the individuals are still active.  

"They still hang out together with secret handshakes and, you know, code words and whatnot, because they've all got IQs of about room temperature," he told Andrew Dickens.
