Former terror suspect Zaky Mallah is due to be deported back to Australia after being detained by immigration authorities in Singapore.

Mallah was the first Australian to be charged with terrorism offences – but was acquitted in 2005.

He says he has been questioned by Singaporean authorities over his travels to Syria in 2012.

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton tells Ray Hadley, Mallah will be sent home.

“He’s a joke this guy and, again, he’s an attention seeker.

“I hate even talking about him but he’ll be on a plane, I suspect, back to Australia.

“The Singaporeans won’t cop idiots like that.”
