Alleged far-right extremist Cameron Brodie-Hall had book on assassination, terror-bombing and sabotage, SA court told

A man who allegedly runs SA’s far-right extremist group may plead guilty to one charge – but denies a fingerprint on an assassination book means its his.

A fingerprint belonging to the alleged head of the state’s far-right extremists was found on a book outlining “assassination, terror bombing and sabotage” instructions, a court has heard.

On Tuesday, prosecutors told the Adelaide Magistrates Court that Cameron Brodie-Hall had called Australia’s top neo-nazi, Thomas Sewell, from prison since his arrest.

Mr Brodie-Hall had, they alleged, ended the call with the “blood and honour” slogan used by the National Socialist Network and European Australian Movement hate groups.

They further alleged Mr Brodie-Hall “referred to himself as a nazi” who was “about protecting White Australia” when arrested by SA Police.

They urged the court to reject the apprentice plumber’s bid for bail, saying the Department for Correctional Services considered him “an appreciable risk” to its staff and the community.

Mr Brodie-Hall, 20, of Mansfield Park, is jointly charged with terrorism offences alongside Jackson Trevor Pay, 22, and Duncan Robert Cromb, 37, of Modbury.

Previously, prosecutors have alleged the trio lead the SA Men’s Health Club which, they further allege, is a front for extremist activities.

They further allege the trio turned their share house – which contained Nazi memorabilia and terrorist manifestos – into the group’s central headquarters.

Last week, counsel for Mr Pay and Mr Cromb said they had sent a proposal to prosecutors, seeking to resolve their clients’ cases without trial.

The Advertiser understands the duo have offered to plead guilty to one count each of possessing information for a terrorist act, which carries a seven-year prison term.

On Tuesday, James Caldicott, for Mr Brodie-Hall, said his client maintained his innocence and would argue his fingerprint did not prove he was legally in possession of the book.

Claims Mr Brodie-Hall posed a threat to DCS staff were, he argued, not supported by evidence.

“Far more seriously violent offenders are managed on home detention every day, yet my client has been deemed an ‘unacceptably high risk’ and an ‘appreciable risk’ to staff,” he said.

“Today is the first we’re hearing about any such potential risk being posed by my client.

“The proposed (home detention) address would see him reside with his parents under strict supervision.”

The state’s chief magistrate, Judge Mary-Louise Hribal, ordered a further report from DCS and remanded Mr Brodie-Hall in custody until next week.
