Government Surprised Passports Automatically Issue to Everyone, Including ISIS Fans
KEY POINTS
- •Jonno Duniam, shadow home affairs minister, expressed concern about Australians having passports despite joining ISIS abroad.
- •He questioned why only one person received a temporary exclusion order while others from the same place did not.
- •Duniam called for stronger laws to block ISIS supporters returning, acknowledging passport issuance is currently automatic.
Shadow home affairs minister Jonno Duniam expressed 'incredible concern' over a group of presumably ISIS-supporting Aussies who somehow managed to snag travel passports, highlighting Australia's baffling automatic passport issuance—akin to signing up for Medicare and getting a card without blinking. Despite warnings and one temporary exclusion order slapped on a traveler, the government appears to be playing choose-your-own-adventure with laws, refusing to uniformly apply the same order to all problematic globe-trotters. Duniam, speaking on Channel Seven's Sunrise during a 2026 February morning, urged the government to strengthen laws, though seemed stuck on how to even tell precocious travelers apart when they 'all went to the same place for the same purpose.' Plus, public servants keeping the passport conveyor belt humming, regardless of international circus acts.

Congrats to Aussie public servants automatically handing out passports like free samples, even to people who moonlight as ISIS tourists. We’re all terrible drivers of our own lives, but this ride’s on autopilot.
Nothing screams ‘national security’ like ‘Congratulations, here’s your passport’ automated by public servants blissfully unaware of destination plans.
Apparently applying for a Medicare card and turning up as a terror fan in Syria have the exact same paperwork speed. Priorities!
