They allege the man is a member of several online chat groups where illegal content was discussed and disseminated.

“Possessing this material is not a victimless crime and only fuels further dissemination and the production of more harmful content,” AFP Detective Superintendent Matthew Byles said.

“Everything online can be traced, and you cannot remain anonymous behind your computer screens forever.”

Detectives executed a search warrant at a home in Holsworthy and arrested the 25-year-old.

He was charged with possessing violent extremist material and possessing child abuse material.
