The Australian Federal Police charged the man after investigating a comment posted in 2020 on the Federal politician’s official Facebook account.

The Marangaroo man likened the politician to a terrorist supporter and predicted they would be murdered.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) takes all reports regarding Australian High Office Holders (AHOHs) safety and security seriously, and assesses each matter against information provided.
