The Australian federal police have confirmed there are multiple reviews being conducted into an undercover counter-terror operation which targeted a 13-year-old autistic boy with a fixation on Islamic State, as calls grow for a public inquiry into the case.
Guardian Australia revealed on Saturday that the boy, known by the pseudonym Thomas Carrick, was granted a permanent stay on terror-related charges last October, after a magistrate found police further radicalised him during the operation and “doomed” his efforts at rehabilitation.
AFP deputy commissioner Ian McCartney, appearing before the parliamentary joint committee on law enforcement on Monday, said the force accepted the magistrate’s decision, and there were a “range of reviews” into the matter.
