SA Senator Calls For Adelaide IS Member To Be Deported

South Australian senator Cory Bernardi says the local student found guilty of joining Islamic State should be deported.

Former nursing student Zainab Abdirahman-Khalif, 23, was found guilty by a Supreme Court jury on Monday of being a member of Islamic State.

Mr Bernardi’s Australian Conservatives party Facebook page shared a post advising under its policies the woman would be deported.

“Conservative Party policy is for dual citizens, like African-born Abdirahman-Khalif, found guilty of terrorist offences to be deported at the earliest opportunity,” reads part of an article published on the party’s webpage.
