Jayson Joseph Michaels, a 20-year-old from Bindoon north of Perth, faces life in prison after his arrest Thursday on charges of preparing a terrorist act driven by white supremacist views.
Authorities found seven firearms, over 1,000 rounds of ammunition, knives, axes, and a notebook detailing explosives and firearms for a mass casualty event.
WA Premier Roger Cook and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed no ongoing threat while condemning the plot; it’s the second alleged white supremacist case in WA this year.
