The Prime Minister's Office has just released details of Tuesday night's call with Scott Morrison over a NZ citizen detained in Turkey over alleged links with Islamic State. Trans-tasman relations took a turn for the worse after Australia dumped responsibility for the woman and her two young children, onto New Zealand. The three have been detained in Turkey after trying to enter illegally from Syria - where the woman had gone to at the height of Islamic State's power in 2014. The ABC have named her as 25-year-old Suhayra Aden. She had dual New Zealand and Australian citizenship, she had lived in Australia from the age of six and travelled to Syria on an Australian passport. Political Editor Jane Patterson speaks to Corin Dann.
