An 18-year-old who spread Islamic State propaganda online and threatened a Melbourne synagogue has walked free after spending almost a year behind bars awaiting sentence.

The teenager, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was sentenced in children's court on Thursday after pleading guilty to counter-terrorism offences, including publishing extremist material and using a carriage service to make a threat to kill.

Police arrested the teen in May 2025 after he allegedly emailed the Melbourne Hebrew Congregation under the name Adolf Hitler, warning that a gunman would attack the synagogue during Shabbat services.

The court heard he also uploaded an Islamic State promotional video to Instagram showing captives being executed, alongside images of himself posing with knives and machetes.

Supported by his parents, the teenager smiled and waved as he entered court for sentencing.

His lawyer argued detention had taken a significant toll on his client, telling the court the teenager faced major health challenges and had good prospects of rehabilitation.

"There is also a reflection the impact of that custody has had. It is not controversial that he has found it harder than a person of average health," the lawyer said.

The magistrate released the teenager under a 12-month supervision order, describing it as the toughest penalty available outside detention.

Under the order, he must attend weekly appointments with a forensic psychologist, cannot access the internet unless supervised, and is banned from going within 200 metres of the Melbourne Hebrew Congregation synagogue.

He is also prohibited from purchasing weapons.

"It is not in dispute that he should be released," the magistrate said.

"Only so much can be done here, nothing is going to be perfect."

The court heard the teenager had already spent 357 days on remand before sentencing.

In handing down the decision, the magistrate noted the teen lived with several complex conditions, including autism, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder and borderline cognitive functioning.

The teenager had previously faced separate counter-terrorism charges in 2021, but those proceedings were halted in 2023 after a magistrate found police had acted inappropriately during the investigation.

Outside court, his parents said they planned to sue the Australian Federal Police, alleging the agency discriminated against their son because of his age and disability.

"We have suffered," they told reporters.

The teenager will return to court in May next year for judicial monitoring.

Tributes are flowing for a Sydney girl who died suddenly after a sudden brain bleed on Monday.

Nine-year-old Hannah Teklic is being remembered as a "bright and beautiful soul" who loved to play sport with her friends.

Her football club, Marrickville FC, will wear black armbands in her honour this weekend.

"Hannah loved playing football with her friends and had been part of Marrickville FC for three years," the club said on social media.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with her parents Ivan and Wasima, her family, friends and teammates during this difficult time.

"Hannah will be laid to rest in Ireland, with her loved ones.

"Fly high Hannah, watch over us all."

An online fundraiser set up for the family to assist with funeral costs and ease the financial burden has raised more $40,000.

The community has wrapped its arms around the family, sending condolences and paying tribute to the nine-year-old girl.

"Hannah loved playing soccer, and her team will deeply miss the force that she was on the field," one person said.

"Terrible news, such a loss for all and so terribly sad for her family and friends," another said.

The Matildas football team also said its hearts were with Hannah's family, friends and teammates at this "incredibly difficult" time.

"Her love of the game and playing with her friends represents everything beautiful about the game, and our thoughts are with everyone at the club, her family and her friends," a statement from the Matildas said.

Final timeline for Auckland harbour crossing decision remains up in the air.

The sons of an American woman sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of her husband claim they are scared of her and claim they would feel unsafe if she were ever released from prison.

Kouri Richins was found guilty in March of murdering her husband Eric Richins in 2022, after spiking his cocktail with fentanyl. Later tests showed Richins had five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system.

A jury also found her guilty of four other felonies, including insurance fraud, forgery and attempted murder for trying to poison her husband weeks earlier on Valentine's Day with a fentanyl-laced sandwich.

A judge in Utah sentenced her to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, and two of her children gave statements via social workers that claimed they were scared of her.

Her sons, two of whom are aged 11 and 13, said they would feel unsafe if their mother were ever released from prison. The children said Richins threatened to kill their animals and showed them videos of famished children in war zones when they refused to eat undercooked food.

"You took away my dad for no reason other than greed, and you only cared about yourself and your stupid boyfriends," said the middle son, now 11. He described having to "be a parent" to his younger brother because his mother did not watch over them. Richins made the boy paranoid about sitting on his dad's side of the bed, saying he might die, too, he alleged.

The oldest son, now 13, said he also felt like he had to take care of his siblings and noted that his mother often would lock him inside his room while she drank.

Richins stood at the podium in a lime green jail uniform as she asked her sons, who were not present in court, "Please just don't give up on me." She encouraged them to always "be like your dad."

Richins' case is notorious because of the book she wrote about grief after the death of her husband.

Called Are You With Me?, it follows the story of a child who has lost their father, but who is reminded that his presence still exists all around them, according to a description on Goodreads.

During the trial, prosecutors showed the jury text messages between Richins and her lover in which she fantasised about leaving her husband and gaining millions in a divorce. Prosecutors also displayed the internet search history from Richins' phone, which included queries about the lethal dose of fentanyl, luxury prisons and how poisoning is marked on a death certificate.

Prosecutors said Richins, a 35-year-old real estate agent with a house-flipping business, was millions in debt and planning a future with another man. She had opened numerous life insurance policies on her husband without his knowledge and falsely believed she would inherit his estate worth more than US$4 million after he died.

The defence argued that Eric Richins was addicted to painkillers. Prosecutors countered by showing police body camera footage from the night of his death in which Kouri Richins tells an officer that her husband had no history of illicit drug use.

Prosecutors did not seek the death penalty.

Judge Richard Mrazik said Richins is "simply too dangerous to ever be free" when handing down the sentence on the day that her husband would have turned 44.

Her attorneys said they will appeal the conviction and sentence. Richins has been adamant in maintaining she is innocent, saying that the verdict was "an absolute lie."

Abnormally warm temperatures in the Tasman Sea have given Sydney its warmest start to May in eight years.

Pools of water in the sea are between two and four degrees warmer than average from this time of year, and are leading to changed weather in Sydney just a week after a cold snap hit.

"Daytime maximum temperatures in Sydney have been running around two to four degrees above average since late last week," Weatherzone's Ben Domensino said.

"The running average temperature during the first 13 days of this month have been more than three degrees above average."

The warmer waters are being caused by the East Australian Current, which is bringing warmer waters from the Coral Sea southwards towards New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.

"Water temperatures in much of the western Tasman Sea are currently in the top 10 per cent of historical records for this time of year," Domensino added.

He said it was not the only change to face Sydney, with onshore winds carrying rain from the Tasman Sea along the coast and mountain ranges.

Sydney is facing rain for the next week, with the peak being seen on Tuesday where up to 10mm could fall.

Despite this, temperatures will remain fairly warm, with a top of 24 degrees on Sunday.

"Sydney will continue to see daytime maximum temperatures around 22 to 24 degrees, hovering a few degrees above the May average of 19.6 degrees," Domensino said.

Two people, including an elderly woman, were injured after they were hit by a car as they sat at the side of a cafe in Melbourne's north-east.

The pair were sitting outside the Bakers Choice cafe on Watsonia Road, Watsonia, at around 2pm yesterday, when a white sedan drove straight into them.

One of the women was hit by the car head-on and was caught underneath it, while the older woman was knocked off her chair and hit the pavement.

Cafe owner Tony Rabie saw the crash from a nearby barbershop, where he had gone to find some tools.

"It was terrifying… the way events panned out," he told Today. "We just heard loud screaming and a loud smashing noise."

He and other bystanders rushed to help the two women, before hearing the first words from the lady stuck under the car.

"She straight away said, 'I'm okay; I've hit my head, I'm in a lot of pain,'" Rabie said.

"Her first thought was, she's a carer, so how was the other lady. That was the sweet thing."

Rabie said they also rushed to help the older lady, helping her find a seat from one of the chairs that was strewn across the footpath after the crash.

"Initially she was responsive, but then the shock took over, and she wasn't very responsive after that for a little bit," Rabie said.

"She looked like she was in a little bit of pain, her forearm was smashed up, [she had] scratches."

An Ambulance Victoria spokesperson confirmed both women were taken to hospital.

"A woman in her 50s with upper body injuries was transported by road ambulance to Royal Melbourne Hospital in a serious but stable condition," they said.

"A woman in her 80s with minor injuries was transported by road ambulance to the Austin Hospital in a stable condition."

Victoria Police confirmed in a statement to nine.com.au that the crash was accidental.
