Man charged over extremist material granted bail, despite allegedly engaging with far-right groups while on remand

A man accused of possessing extremist material and a document for terrorist acts has been granted bail, despite allegedly continuing to engage with far-right groups while on remand.

The Supreme Court of South Australia granted Cameron Brodie-Hall bail on April 6, after it was refused the previous month by the District Court.

Mr Brodie-Hall is accused of possessing documents related to “achieving mass awakening by taking down the system” and condoned successful terrorist attackers.

Mr Brodie-Hall also allegedly attended an Australia Day rally last year with other group members, holding up a sign on a bridge that read “conquered not stolen”, and making Nazi salutes to oncoming traffic.

Prosecutors had opposed bail in March, saying the 21-year-old had continued contact with a far-right group while on remand.

The District Court was told monitored phone calls revealed he spoke to the national leader of the group, referred to himself as a Nazi, and ended the call with the slogan “blood and honour”.

But Mr Brodie-Hall’s lawyers said the case against him was not strong and he was unlikely to reoffend under strict bail conditions, living with his mother, who was his guarantor.

Mr Brodie-Hall will face court again in December, with a trial on his charges listed for next year.
