Timeline: Homegrown terrorism in Australia over the past year

ABC  

Following the death of a New South Wales police civilian employee at the hands of a radicalised teenager in Sydney, take a look at some of the key events relating to homegrown terrorism in Australia over the past year. Counter-terrorism police in Sydney arrest two men, charging one with possession of documents designed to facilitate a terrorist attack. August 2015 The Australian Government confirms at least eight Australians feature on a "hit list" released by a group calling itself the Islamic State Hacking Division. September 2015 Victoria Police establishes a new counter-terrorism squad as part of a more "sophisticated" approach to tackling the threat, with a specific focus on preventing radicalisation.
