A New South Wales man was issued a two-year good behaviour order and fined $1,000 for threatening a government adviser on social media.
The 63-year-old was sentenced in Wyong Local Court on 4 November 2026. He pleaded guilty, and the matter was dealt with summarily.
The Australian Federal Police’s National Security Investigations team charged the Central Coast man in August 2026, after investigating a threat posted on social media and directed at a government adviser.
He faced one count of using a telecommunications service to menace, harass or cause offence, contrary to section 474.17(1) of the Criminal Code (Cth).
