New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern has blasted her Australian counterpart Scott Morrison over what she sees as an abrogation of responsibility to a citizen who left Australia allegedly to support Islamic State in Syria. 'Our very strong view on behalf of New Zealand and New Zealanders was that this individual was clearly most appropriately dealt with by Australia,' Ardern said. The blast came after a woman and two children were reportedly picked up by Turkish officials for illegally entering that country from Syria. 'New Zealand, frankly, is tired of having Australia export its problems but now there are two children involved and so we have to resolve this issue with the interests of those children in mind,' Ardern said. Morrison said during a press conference that his job was to 'put Australia's national security issues first'
