Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has had a crack at Australia for dumping responsibility for a woman and two young children detained at the Turkish border on New Zealand. The PM says the woman, who had dual citizenship, left for Australia when she was six and travelled to Syria from Australia on an Australian passport. Turkish authorities say the woman has links with the Islamic State terrorist group. Nathan Rarere spoke with our Australia correspondent Pam Corkery.
