The arrest comes a day before the 1-year anniversary of the Christchurch mosque massacre in New Zealand.
He was due to appear in court later Monday and faces a maximum sentence of life in prison for the charges, police said.“What we know is this person had anti-government sentiment, he was anti-Semitic, he has Neo-Nazi interests and he has anti-Indigenous interests,” said Mark Walton, head of the New South Wales police counter-terrorism force.
Police said the Christchurch anniversary led police to move against the man arrested at the weekend but there was no indication he had planned an attack to coincide with Sunday’s anniversary.
