'He's made his bed'

"If he can stay over there and be other people's issue, I think that's what New Zealanders would want," New Zealand opposition leader Simon Bridges told reporters on Tuesday.Mark Taylor was placed on a United States terrorist watchlist after he “used social media, including appearing in a 2015 IS propaganda video".However, Bridges - like New Zealand's government - accepts Taylor is a Kiwi citizen with no passports elsewhere and legally can't be kept out.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says officials will issue Taylor an"emergency travel document" to get to New Zealand, but he'd have to make it to a consulate in Turkey first. "We do not have individuals on the ground able to facilitate anyone's return directly from this detention centre," Ardern later told reporters.

Kiwi diplomats aren't obliged to help get Taylor on a plane either, begging the question of how he'd travel back, given he's on international terrorist watchlists.Nonetheless, politicians have moved to assure the public Taylor could face charges under New Zealand law if he made it back, including some offences which carry lengthy prison sentences.
