Logan terror suspect Omar Succarieh denied bail for second time
A Queensland man charged with terrorism-related offences has been denied bail for a second time.
Logan man Omar Succarieh, 31, has been in custody since last September.
He was charged with making funds available to terrorist group Jabhat al-Nusra between August 2013 and September 2014.
Jabhat al-Nusra has been linked to Al Qaeda.
Succarieh was also charged with preparing for incursions into a foreign state.
Succarieh's lawyer, Kerri Mellifont QC, told the Supreme Court his client denied being a member or supporter of any terrorist group and offered a comprehensive range of bail conditions, including a $100,000 surety, home detention and surrendering his children's passports.
She said he would not approach any form of departure point, would report to police and would accept restricted access to television and the internet.
"He is offering up quite extraordinary conditions," she said.
Ms Mellifont said it would be a complex case and a difficult offence for the prosecution to prove because they were relying on circumstantial evidence.
But Commonwealth prosecutor Glen Rice argued Succarieh was a serious flight risk and telephone intercepts recorded him expressing disdain for Australia and support for Jabhat al-Nusra.
"While he has lived and worked in this country, he is not affiliated with it," Mr Rice said.
"He hates living in this country.
"He himself declares himself a supporter of Jabhat al-Nusra.
"But for passport restrictions, he would be with his brother testing his mettle on the battlefield."
In rejecting the bail application, Supreme Court Justice Peter Applegarth said there were no exceptional circumstances that justified Succarieh's release on bail.
"I don't have a high degree of assurance that he would observe a condition of house arrest," Justice Applegarth said.
