Police allege that a 20-year-old Western Australian (WA) man charged with plotting a terrorist act wrote a manifesto detailing plans for a nationalist and racist, ideologically motivated act of violence.

Jayson Joseph Michaels, a labourer in the small town of Bindoon, around 84 kilometres north of Perth, has been charged with act in preparation for or planning a terrorist act.
