00:01The teenage girl has been charged with collecting or making documents likely to facilitate terrorist
00:08acts.
00:09In a statement this morning, a joint counter-terrorism team spokesperson said documents seized from
00:14a top-end home yesterday allegedly identified a mixed ideological motivation, including
00:20glorification of mass casualty attacks at schools.
00:24It comes after a top-end teenage boy faced court last week, charged with collecting documents
00:30likely to facilitate a terrorist act and possessing schematics for 3D-printed guns.
00:36The young girl appeared before Youth Justice Court this morning.
00:40Her lawyer asked for the case to be adjourned until later this month to allow time for her
00:45client to be assessed for electronic monitoring before making an application for bail.
00:50The judge said the allegations were pretty serious and referred to messages which he
00:55described as extremely concerning.
00:58The teenager was remanded in custody and will return to court for a bail hearing later this
01:03month.
