Alleged terrorist Neil Prakash extradited to Melbourne, charged with six offencesAlleged Islamic State fighter Neil Prakash is extradited to Melbourne under federal police escort and has been charged with six terrorism-related offences. Alleged? So he's a danger to the community and to our country. What is our justice system going to do. It's a pity this guy isn't being tried in the US. He would not be allowed out or even executed.
