An Australian man will front court on Wednesday after allegedly making multiple threats to kill a Federal Politician.

The 43-year-old man from Greystanes in Sydney’s west allegedly made multiple threats over the phone to kill the unnamed parliamentarian.

Areas of Greystanes are split across three Federal electorates: Blaxland, held by Jason Clare, Parramatta, held by Andrew Charlton and McMahon, held by Chris Bowen.

The AFP’s National Security Investigations team were first alerted about the alleged death threats on 16 December 2025.

In a statement, the AFP said the calls were made to “the parliamentarian’s office”.

“The AFP allegedly linked the man, 43, to the calls and a search warrant was executed at a Greystanes home, where police seized electronic devices,” a spokesperson said.

“The 43-year-old was issued with a court attendance notice and is expected to appear before Parramatta local court to face a charge of using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence, contrary to section 414.17(1) of the Criminal Code (Cth).”

If convicted, the man could face up to five years in prison.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
