      It’s kind of a bizarre headline. His most recent education was TAFE. Shouldn’t it be “Former TAFE student and Laborer”?

      “Police allege Mr Michaels had been radicalised online and had been planning the attack in a notebook he kept at his family’s Bindoon home, where he lived with his parents.”

      Fuck me. Our government leaders have close to zero awareness of the danger of ‘too much internet’. The best we could do is some blanket ban for anyone under 16. Nothing to change the curriculum to include digital literacy on a personal level, since that’s governed at a State level.

      So we’re literally just letting these homegrown terrorists breed hate right under the noses of their own parents.

      If its a christian white boy terrorist he is mentally ill or ‘radicalised’ but any other colour terrorist and the same patronising and sugarcoating is conveniently absent. Compare how the Christchurch terrorist who was Australian born and killed 50 muslims was treated compared to the Bondi terrorist who was Muslim and killed 15 jews.

      I’m a little confused…. is this the Invasion Day terrorist or a different terrorist who was caught before enacting anything he’d planned?

      Stories like this really highlight just how little Australia has done to assist those in rural areas where there’s sweet FA to do, leading to them seeking ‘a community’ online. So many young men getting radicalised online.

      (Not sure why I’m getting down voted. I’m not siding with the bloke, I’m saying the situation is fucked and this is happening more than it should be.)

      Remarkable investigative work in this.
      Yet in other cases where reported there had been multiple warnings and suspicious activity, no intervention until after tragedy.
      Why is this so?
      Mr ASIO?

      ABC using all the buzzwords to ensure article traffic I see 🤦‍♂️ WTF does being a labourer, the most generic job available, have to do with terrorism lmaooo. And “Christian schoolboy”? Come onnnnn.

      They’re probably going to go for a mental health defence, that he was vulnerable and didn’t fully know what he was doing. More so if his parents are really cashed up.

      This is terrifying. The Perth newspaper over there has been running hate articles non stop. Not surprised it’s incited people but it’s incredibly sad this guy just didn’t join a footy club and make some friends instead.

      “Radicalised online”

      Okay well give us a breakdown of his follows and groups. “Online” isn’t just some nebulous void that sucks you in. He would have had groups he chatted in and people he followed that did the radicalisation and its public interest to know. I bet you could find *certain political figureheads* he was influenced by. What are they saying that caused it?

      Wonder if St Stephens will feature him in their Reflections book this year?

      Always with the claims of being “radicalised online”. Really detracts from the voluntary nature of scumbags such as this guy actively seeking out the material.

      I’m yet to see anyone right of the greens make any noise about this. Two (alleged) white nationalist terrorists in WA in 2026, and not a lot of Royal commission cries.

      Where are the calls for him to go back where he came from? Seems only fitting, right? The go back where you came from crowd oddly quiet.
