‘Values of freedom’: Five Iranian women’s soccer players provided with asylum in Australia

Sky News host Chris Kenny details how five Iranian women’s soccer players have been provided with asylum in Australia.

“The case of the Iranian women soccer team, the brave women who have claimed asylum in Australia, is so important on so many levels, because it shows us what matters in life, in government and in global affairs,” Mr Kenny says.

“Have the courage to proclaim that theocratic Islamist regimes are wrong, simply wrong, they are anathema to our values of freedom and democracy, and they are especially odious for women. As I said last night, this was the only proper response from Australia.

“I only hope the government and authorities have made sure that all the other members of the group were given the opportunity to express their wishes, individually, without anyone standing over them.”
