Australia spent $318 million prosecuting two soldiers in Afghanistan, and zero investigating the ISIS brides. By Rebecca Weisser in The Spectator.

This week, we learned that the government has spent $318 million investigating war crimes allegedly committed by the approximately 230 Australians who travelled to Iraq or Syria to join the Islamic State or other bloodcurdling terrorist groups.

Oops, my bad. Australia has a specialised federally funded office that investigates war crimes committed by Australians abroad. But only if those Australians are members of the Australian Defence Forces.

The government spent over $318 million over the last decade investigating war crimes allegedly committed by 19 veterans at a cost of approximately $17 million per soldier. So far, only two veterans have been charged: Oliver Jordan Schulz, charged with one war crime, scheduled for 2027 and Ben Roberts-Smith who is facing five counts of the war crime of murder. The other 17 servicemen have been trapped in a legal no-man’s land, awaiting a multi-million-dollar knock on the door.

Everyone else gets a free pass. That includes the 100 Australians who joined Islamic State and are still believed to be alive and abroad. And those who have ventured home.

In 2018, the Australian parliament passed a motion recognising the Isis-perpetrated genocide of the Yazidi community of northern Iraq calling for the investigation and prosecution of individuals who committed war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.

Yet, the Australian government has allocated precisely no money for a federally funded office to investigate the war crimes of Australians who are not soldiers, for example, of its own jolly jihadists who camped by Syrian and Iraqi billabongs during the reign of terror of the Islamic State. …

Justice? Only for those in political disfavor. Ben Roberts-Smith is targeted because he is a white man who performed heroically for us. Gotta lower the status of whites, especially their men, eh globalists?

Yet despite Prime Minister Albanese repeatedly saying that Isis supporters who return to Australia will face the ‘full force of the law’, legal experts say that the women are unlikely to face charges in relation to those alleged crimes.

Germany showed how it’s done:

In Germany, in 2023, a woman who joined Islamic State was jailed for nine years for crimes against humanity, including keeping a Yazidi woman as a slave, and membership of a foreign terrorist organisation.

Did our girls keep slaves? I’ll bet they did.
