Sky News Australia published this video item, entitled “Government strips terrorist of Australian citizenship” – below is their description.
One of Australia’s most notorious terrorists has been stripped of his Australian citizenship by the Morrison government. Abdul Nacer Benbrika was imprisoned for 12 years in 2008 for planning several attacks in New South Wales and Victoria – including the AFL Grand Final. While the sentence has been completed, he remains in jail on an interim detention order while the government pursues a continuing detention order for three years. Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said stripping Benbrika of his citizenship will protect the Australian community. “It doesn’t matter who it is, if it’s a person that’s posing a significant terrorist threat to our country then we will do whatever’s possible within Australian law to protect Australians,” he said.
