The case concerns a 13-year-old boy, identified under the pseudonym Thomas Carrick, who is autistic and has an IQ of 71 (SBS) . In 2020, his parents, worried about his fascination with the Islamic State and watching Daesh videos, asked Victoria Police for help to divert him from this fixation.
Instead of focusing solely on therapeutic assistance, the Joint Counter Terrorism Team (composed of Australian Federal Police officers, Victoria Police, and ASIO) launched an online infiltration operation (SBS) . Undercover agents communicated with the boy while pretending to be Islamic State supporters.
According to the judgment, the agent encouraged Thomas and told him that his plan to make a bomb or kill an AFP member was a good plan, telling him he would make a good sniper or suicide bomber (SBS) . The conversations showed the boy's naivety, as he asked things like whether he could join "the children's section of the Islamic State."
The boy was charged after a knife with "ISIS" written on it was found in his bedroom. However, in 2023, Magistrate Lesley Fleming of the Children's Court of Victoria ordered the permanent dismissal of charges, severely criticizing the agents' conduct, which she said fell "well short of the minimum standards expected of law enforcement".
During a parliamentary hearing in February 2024, Greens Senator David Shoebridge sharply questioned AFP Deputy Commissioner Ian McCartney, stating: "It was the AFP who suggested he become a sniper and a suicide bomber. It was the AFP who put that into the mind of a 13-year-old child with autism and an IQ of 71."
Documents obtained under freedom of information laws reveal the operation cost 507,087 Australian dollars, with an additional 72,614 dollars spent by the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions' office.
Deputy Commissioner McCartney defended the operation by claiming the boy was already on the path to radicalization before the AFP's intervention and that it was not their intention to radicalize him. The AFP stated it would repeat a similar operation under comparable circumstances.
This case has sparked a major debate in Australia about counter-terrorism methods and the protection of vulnerable minors.
