Reprieve for man after explicit death threat to PM
By Tom Wark
A man who issued a slur-laden death threat to the prime minister and his wife during a months-long social media tirade has been spared jail.
Alexander Phillip David Keating, 37, was on Tuesday convicted in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court of using social media platform X to menace, harass and offend.
He posted 45 menacing messages between February and April 2025, many of which called for violence against Muslims, queer people or politicians.
