Three Sydney mayors will meet with Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil to voice their opposition to the repatriation of Australian wives and children of Islamist State fighters in the city’s southwest.

Liverpool Mayor Ned Mannoun says the resettlement of the families in western Sydney could involve re-traumatising recently arrived refugees such as Yazidis and Assyrians fleeing IS violence from Iraq and Syria.
