Brisbane teen faces court on terrorism charges after violent extremist material and chemicals allegedly seized

A Queensland teenager charged with terrorism offences has been granted bail after police allegedly seized violent extremist material including an Islamic State video and chemicals for explosives.

Max Belter, 18, appeared in a green prison jumper in Brisbane magistrates court on Thursday after a joint terrorism taskforce raided his property at The Gap in Brisbane’s north.

He has been charged with two counts of possessing and controlling violent extremist material obtained or accessed using a carriage service.
