A 44-year-old Sydney man was sentenced to a two-year Community Corrections Order and fined $1,000 for threatening an Australian high office holder. Parramatta Local Court handed down the sentence on 16 October 2026. He must also participate in counselling.

The AFP’s National Security Investigations team began investigating in December 2025 after receiving a report about threatening calls to the office of an Australian high office holder. The calls included multiple threats of violence.

In the following days, investigators searched a home in Greystanes and seized electronic devices.

AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett announced the establishment of National Security Investigations teams in October 2025. The teams target groups and individuals causing serious harm to Australia’s social cohesion, including those who target high office holders and federal parliamentarians.
