Overview
- The AFP, ASIO and the Queensland Joint Counter Terrorism Team searched a Pacific Pines home on Thursday and arrested the teenager.
- The man faces four counts of using a carriage service for violent extremist material and one count of possessing or controlling such material, with each offence carrying a maximum five-year penalty.
- Police allege he shared violent videos and propaganda with friends and family between January 2024 and April 2025.
- An earlier April search seized two phones, a laptop and a handwritten diary, and investigators allege those devices contained violent propaganda linked to a terrorist organisation that has not been named.
