Headline check

There is nothing in this headline a machine can check against the report: no figure, no name and no quotation.

Nothing was measured here, so nothing is claimed. How this is checked

A 14-year-old boy has been charged with preparing to cause death or grievous bodily harm, and possessing violent extremist material in the Wide Bay region.

The boy — who can't be named — has also been charged with possessing a knife in a public place.

Police allege he planned to threaten people in Maryborough.

Counter-Terrorism detectives raided a property at Maryborough late last month and seized several electronic devices.

His matter was briefly heard in the Brisbane Childrens Court this morning.

He did not appear, and there was no application for bail.

The matter was adjourned to Maryborough Childrens Court next week.

Police said there is no threat to the public and investigations continue.

"There is no place in Queensland for hate and violence, and everyone has a right to feel safe without feeling threatened or victimised," Queensland Police Service said in a statement.
