Anti-extremist terror plot accused faces Melbourne court

An anti-Islam extremist accused of plotting bomb attacks in Victoria is expected to front a Melbourne court.

Phillip Michael Galea, 32, is charged with collecting or making documents to prepare for terrorist acts between November 2015 and early August 2016.

He is also charged with doing acts in preparation for a terrorist act between September 2015 and early August last year.

Mr Galea is scheduled for a committal mention at Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

He allegedly talked about blowing up the headquarters of Melbourne's anarchists, the court heard last year.

Prosecutors are relying on evidence contained in secretly recorded phone conversations during which Mr Galea talks to other people about his plans.

Mr Galea allegedly said: "They thought what I was planning before was dangerous. They've got no idea".

Police allege Mr Galea also researched homemade bombs, ballistic armour and guns.
