Police say they believed soon after the caravan’s discovery in January that it was a ‘con job’, alleging it was fabricated by criminals for personal benefit
The discovery of a caravan packed with explosives earlier this year led to concerns about a possible terrorism attack, criticism of the police and media, and a fierce political debate about the federal government’s response to antisemitism.
On Monday, Australian police said the caravan was part of “fake terrorism plot” allegedly orchestrated by organised criminals for personal gain.
