‘Some refugees from Syria, for instance, depending on the visa class that they’re issued … may be eligible for special benefit payments,’ says one official.

South Australian Senator Kerrynne Liddle has questioned a social security official over the potential welfare cost to taxpayers for returning “ISIS brides” and their children.

During a Senate Community Affairs Legislation Committee hearing on Oct. 10, Liddle probed Matt Flavel, deputy secretary of social security, on what payments the women and children could be eligible for in Australia.
