The suspected terrorists arrested today in Melbourne allegedly intended to become martyrs in an attack on Holsworthy army base in New South Wales.
The Melbourne Magistrates’ Court heard police believed there was a conspiracy to use weapons to fire upon Australian military personnel.
Prosecutor Nick Robinson, SC, alleged the men intended to keep shooting until they were killed or arrested.
The court heard only one man had been charged with terrorism-related offences while three other men remained in custody without charge.
Mr Robinson agreed with Magistrate Peter Reardon that their intention was to become martyrs.
One of the men, Saney Aweys, appeared in court handcuffed and flanked by two federal agents.
Investigators are seeking a court order to extend their questioning of the men for eight hours. He denied any connection with the men mentioned in court by Mr Robinson. .
Aweys, who has not been charged and who was unrepresented, said he was a boilermaker and needed sleep after being awake for the past 30 hours. “I want to have a rest.
“I want it to stop now,” he said. He adjourned today’s hearing until 2pm for further applications to be made by the prosecution and their defense.”
Mr Reardon granted the application for Aweys to be interviewed for eight hours from 6pm tonight.
Federal agent David Kinton told the court the telephone intercepts had recorded text messages exchanged about the Holsworthy base.
Federal agent David Kinton told the court the telephone intercepts had recorded text messages exchanged about the Holsworthy base.”
He said the men had attempted to find an Islamic sheik or religious authority to give them support to engage in violent attacks in Australia. It is easy to enter. “I’m waiting for your message,” one allegedly said in relation to the information about the Holsworthy base.
Mr Kinton said there had been other text messages sent between the men.
CCTV footage allegedly shows one of the men arriving at Holsworthy on March 28, Mr Kinton said.
“Can you give me the address of Australia and name of train station,” another text allegedly said.
Mr Robinson said that evidence would involve electronic and physical surveillance. He said one telephone discussion intercepted by police involved a man believed to be in Somalia who was engaged in violence there. He said he would allow the questioning of “such serious allegations” to continue.
In granting the application for the extension Mr Reardon said terrorism acts “strike at the heart of our democratic society”.

Inspiring stories behind big swim

JOYFUL AND TRIUMPHANT:
Brian Bourke, a victim of polio, gets help back on to dry land from grandson William Ferrier, after completing the 750-metre race.
Perseverance and the love of a grandchild helped polio victim Brian Bourke cross the finish line of the Sovereign Capital Classic ocean swim.
"The windy, choppy conditions didn't suit me, but there were several competitors after me."
Mr Bourke, 67, contracted polio in the epidemic of 1956 when in the fourth form at Ashburton College. I wasn't last. It is totally without use, in that I have to have a prosthesis on it to hold it straight so I can walk.
"It took away any muscular movement of my left leg. I have used a walking stick ever since. He also competed in last year's ocean swim at Wellington."
Mr Bourke, a chartered accountant in Masterton, is an experienced ocean swimmer who has churned his way across Tauranga Harbour four times.
"I take off my special boots, I take off the prosthesis I wear on my leg, I take off my glasses and then when I am in the water I am free and I look like most other people. . "I can't get out of the water without help."
Reality returns as soon as he tries to get back on to dry land."
And that is where his grandson William Ferrier, 6, of Wadestown, proved invaluable in Saturday's 750metre ocean race at Oriental Bay."
And that is where his grandson William Ferrier, 6, of Wadestown, proved invaluable in Saturday's 750metre ocean race at Oriental Bay."
Another competitor with an inspirational story is policeman and former Wairarapa Bush and Nelson Bays rugby lock forward Dean Gifford. I held his hand and we walked out.
Saturday's race was his first competitive ocean swim. He was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2006 which ruled him out of contact sport, but a strong recovery has resulted in him turning to swimming for fitness. "I think I might have swallowed a bit too much water through the chop but otherwise I am fine and feel great to have finished. "That was tough, about as tough as a full-on game of rugby," he said.8 kilometres, were won by Trent Grimsey of Australia and Charlotte Webby of New Plymouth."
The elite men's and women's sections of the race, held over 2.
