New Zealand and Australia in citizenship row

New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has accused Australia of abdicating its responsibilities amid a row over a woman accused of having links to the Islamic State (IS).

The woman is facing deportation to New Zealand after being caught entering turkey from Syria with two children.

But Ms Ardern says the dual national should be sent to Australia.

The 26-year-old held both Australian and New Zealand citizenship until Canberra revoked it last year. However, Australia’s Prime Minister, Scott Morrison responded by saying his job was to protect his interests.
