The Australian Federal Police (AFP) has refused to say whether officers who were criticised by a children’s court magistrate for "attempting to radicalise" a teenager with autism during a counterterrorism operation will face any consequences.

In a judgment in the Children’s Court of Victoria last year, a permanent stay was ordered of proceedings against the child, with Magistrate Lesley Fleming offering a blistering criticism of officers whose conduct Fleming said fell "profoundly short of the minimum standards expected of law enforcement officers".

The case involved a 13-year-old, given the pseudonym Thomas Carrick or TC, who is on the autism spectrum with an IQ of 71. He was described as an "isolated child without friends and has a tendency to fixate".
