Back to EpisodesTerror Plot: 20yo's Radicalization & Arrest
Description
20-year-old Jayson Michaels, accused of plotting terror attacks in Perth, faces terrorism charges. Prosecutors allege he planned to target Parliament House, mosques, and police headquarters, inspired by right-wing views. Authorities found firearms, knives, and evidence of online research in his home. Michaels defense argues the evidence is weak, suggesting he may be isolated and on the autism spectrum. However, the magistrate denied bail, deeming his diary entries disturbing and not mere ramblings. Michaels is now in a special prison unit after reporting threats and will face additional charges in May.
