Joseph Terrence Thomas (b. 1973) is an Australian criminal, convicted of receiving funds from Al-Qaeda. Thomas is the first Australian to be convicted under anti-terrorism laws introduced in Australia after the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York.
Attorney General Philip Ruddock said after news of the conviction,
- "The convictions of Mr Thomas for the terrorist offence and the offence related to passport manipulation demonstrate the seriousness with which these issues are dealt with by the law and highlights the consequences of becoming involved in these activities".
Since his arrest, Thomas has been referred to in the media as 'Jihad Jack'.
