Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E ai ki ngā pūrongo, kua mauheretia te kaitōrangapū o mua o Northern Territory, a Matthew Gardiner, i te taunga rererangi o Darwin, i a ia e hoki mai ana i Hiria, i reira i whakapono ai ia i whawhai ki te Islamic State. I te marama o Hānuere i rere atu te tangata matua o te Pāti Mahi NT i te whenua me te whakaaro ki te whakauru atu ki ngā hōia Kurdish - he mahi e whiua ana ki te whare herehere o te oranga i Ahitereiria. I tae ia ki te taunga rererangi o Darwin i te ata o te Ratapu i muri i tana rerenga mai i te Middle East ma Sweden me Singapore, e ai ki. I whakapumautia e te Pirihimana Federal o Ahitereiria ki Daily Mail Ahitereiria kua mauheretia tetahi tangata i te taunga rererangi. "Ka taea e te AFP te whakapumautia i korero ki tetahi tangata o Darwin i tenei ra (Rātapu 5 Paenga-whāwhā 2015) i muri i tana hokinga ki Ahitereiria", i kii te kaikorero a AFP. "Kei te haere tonu ngā uiui e pā ana ki ana mahi i tāwāhi, ā, kāore e tika ana kia kōrero atu i tēnei wā". Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Kua hoki mai te kaitōrangapū o mua o Northern Territory a Matthew Gardiner ki Ahitereiria i muri i te mōhiotanga e whawhai ana ia ki te ISIS i te Middle East. Ko te 43-tau-tau, kei a ia he papamuri hoia, i whakaaetia kia wehe atu i te whenua na te mea kaore ia i runga i tetahi raarangi tirotiro. I mahue i a ia tana wahine, a Andrea, me ana tama tokotoru, e toru ki te 11 tau te pakeke. E ai ki nga korero kaore ratou i mohio ki tana whakatau ki te rere i te whenua i mua i tana ngaro. Ko Mr Gardiner hoki te tumuaki o te NT Labor Party, ahakoa i whakamutua ia i tana mahi i muri i tana ngaro. I te marama o Hui-tanguru, ko te tangata o Ahitereiria a Ashley Johnston te tangata tuatahi o te Hauauru i mate i te whawhai ki a IS mo te Kotahitanga Tiaki Tangata Kurdish (YPG). E whakapono ana ko te 28-tau te pakeke e whawhai ana ki te Kotahitanga Tiaki Iwi o Kurds (YPG) me te ngana ki te whakaora i te taone o Tal Hamis i puritia e ISIS i Hiria. I mate a Johnston i muri i te nui o te tokomaha i muri i te pakaru o te taraka i haere ai ia i tetahi kainga iti e tata ana ki Shingal, e tata ana ki te rohe o Iraq me Syrian Kurdistan. Kāore tōna whaea a Amanda Johnston i te mōhio kei te whawhai tana tama ki te Middle East tae noa ki tōna kitenga i te matenga o tana tama, i tana kōrero ki a ia...
I mauheretia te kaitohutohu uniana o mua i muri i tana hokinga mai i te Middle East. I wehe atu ia i te whenua i te marama o Hanuere ki te uru atu ki te whawhai ki te IS. E mōhiotia ana i haere a Matthew Gardiner ki Iraq, ki Hiria rānei ki te whakauru atu ki a Kurdish. Kua whakapumautia e te Pirihimana o Ahitereiria kei te tirotirohia e rātau te take. I whakaaetia te 43-tau-tau ki te wehe i te whenua no te mea kaore ia i runga i tetahi rarangi tirotiro, e kii ana te ripoata. I kii te kaikorero mo te Kaiwhakarite Ture a George Brandis: 'Ki te whawhai kore ture koe i roto i nga pakanga o tawahi, ka aro atu koe ki te whare herehere mo te oranga'
