Tradie Nathan is accused of threatening to kidnap Prime Minister Anthony Albanese after the Bondi Beach massacre and his mum is FURIOUS - but not at her son...
Nathan Ballesty allegedly used a carriage service at his Beacon Hill home, on Sydney's northern beaches to threaten serious harm against Albanese.
The mother of a 'far-right' tradie accused of threatening to kidnap Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the wake of the Bondi massacre has erupted with rage after her son was approached by the media.
Nathan Ballesty, 27, allegedly used a carriage service at his Beacon Hill home, on Sydney's northern beaches, between December 19 and December 21 to threaten serious harm against Albanese.
The Australian Federal Police's recently formed National Security Investigations team immediately launched a probe into the alleged threat and traced it back to Ballesty.
Ballesty's social media accounts show he frequently expressed right-wing views, with the political tone of his posts having ramped up following the slaughter of 15 people at Bondi Beach on December 14.
In that attack, Naveed Akram, 24, and his father Sajid, 50, are alleged to have opened fire on a crowd of Jews during a Hanukkah celebration in an act police have said was inspired by ISIS.
Sajid Akram was shot dead by police at the scene, while his son is in custody. Forty victims were wounded in the shooting.
In Ballesty's bio on X, he describes himself as a 'Catholic, Anti-Communist'.
When Daily Mail spoke to Ballesty at his front door on Monday, he said he was 'all right' but did not wish to discuss the allegations against him.

'I don't want to comment at this time,' he said. 'God bless you.'
Shortly afterwards, Ballesty's mum Angela, who also lives at the house, arrived home after walking a dog and said she did not wish to comment either.
'I'm his mother,' Ms Ballesty said. 'I've done nothing wrong.'
Ms Ballesty then pointed angrily at a photographer and raised her voice to repeatedly threaten legal action if her photograph was taken.
An AFP spokesman said it would be alleged that on December 22 Ballesty 'made an online post calling for the kidnapping' of a 'federal parliamentarian'.
That statement did not reveal the most powerful politician in Australia was the subject of the threat.
It was only made clear in court documents inspected by the Daily Mail later that day the subject of the alleged threat was Albanese.
Ballesty's home was raided between 6pm and 8.30pm on December 21, with officers seizing a number of electronic devices for forensic examination.
