What now for IS fighters' families + quitting the Libs for 'Something Better'
About this episode
A group of so-called 'ISIS brides' and their children have returned to Australia.
There's been fierce debate about how to handle the cohort who have been living in refugee camps for years. We speak to a leading counter-terrorism expert about what their return could mean for national security.
And just a few months ago, Charlotte Mortlock was a strong supporter of the Liberal Party and leading a network aimed at encouraging more women to join.
Now she's trying to build a new party, says she has no hope for the Liberals. So what's changed?
