The pair are allegedly connected to the caravan filled with explosives believed to have a potential blast zone of 40 metres, and considered to be on the periphery of a broader antisemitism terror investigation.

Australian police believe explosives found on Sydney’s outskirts were evidence of a deadly escalation in a campaign of antisemitic arson and graffiti crimes that has been waged in major cities for months.

The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation says it anticipated spikes in politically motivated violence months before a caravan laced with explosives, intended for Jewish targets in Sydney, was discovered by the side of the road 10 days ago.

The Australian Federal Police and ASIO are now involved in the investigation with police saying there is no ongoing threat to the public.

Calls have grown for mandatory jail time after an explosives-laden caravan was discovered with anti-Semitic material, setting the stage for a political showdown.

The Coalition and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton have repeatedly criticised Albanese over his response to the rise of antisemitic attacks, and have said national cabinet should have been briefed on the discovery of the explosives.

Australian authorities say they’ve foiled a potential “mass casualty” attack with the discovery of a trailer packed with explosives in northwest Sydney, and “an indication” it was to be used against targets in the Jewish community following a spate of antisemitic incidents.
