A teenager on trial is accused of preparing a terrorist attack after allegedly considering multiple targets, including schools and then-opposition leader Peter Dutton, a jury has heard. Prosecutors say the teenager planned to use pipe bombs filled with nails and discussed potential targets before any attack took place. The court heard that the accused focused on places associated with children as well as a prominent political figure, and that the alleged weapon design involved improvised explosive devices intended to cause harm and injury. The jury is being asked to assess evidence presented by the prosecution regarding the teenager’s planning and intentions. The reporting across outlets indicates the same core allegations: that the teenager considered schools and Peter Dutton as possible targets and that the proposed method involved pipe bombs containing nails. The articles do not specify an outcome of the trial or provide details of any defence arguments in the excerpts provided.
