An accused far-right terror plotter allegedly spoke about “cutting throats” in central Melbourne and leaving “a line of dead lefties around me”, a court has heard.

Phillip Galea, 34, is charged with planning to attack leftwing groups including the Melbourne Anarchist Club between August 2015 and 2016.

“I wanted to go around cutting throats in the city centre. I wanted a line of dead lefties around me,” Galea allegedly told another man in an intercepted phone call read to Victoria’s supreme court on Tuesday.

“I joined this movement because I wanted to fight,” Galea also said, the prosecutor Richard Maidment QC told the jury.

Galea is standing trial for planning a terrorist attack and trying to make a document, which he allegedly called the “Patriot’s Cookbook”, to facilitate an attack.

He wanted to target the city’s anarchist club, as well as the Melbourne Resistance Centre and the city’s Trades Hall, associated with the union movement, “to eliminate the leaders of the left”, Maidment said.

Galea was associated with the far-right group Reclaim Australia and blamed “the left” for the “Islamisation of Australia”, the prosecutor added.

In another phone call railing against “lefties”, Galea allegedly said “eventually we’ll put them all in ovens … with the Muslims”.

“It’s like killing a snake with these people, cut off the head and the body dies,” he allegedly said.

Galea also met an Imam at one point because “you have to know your enemy”, according to more transcripts read in court.

He also allegedly said, “If you’re the fucking premier of Victoria and you have a problem with me, I’ll fucking take you down.”

Galea was first arrested when police raided his Braybrook home in November 2015, but afterwards claimed authorities only got a fraction of his documents.

“I do all this stuff on a mate’s computer and I just carry it all on a flash drive,” the court was told Galea said to a mate in February 2016.

“I’m not stupid.”

Galea went on to express surprise police weren’t “on our side”.

“I didn’t join this movement expecting police to be our enemy,” he said, according to the transcripts.

Galea was arrested again in August 2016. His trial continues.
