The sixth man charged over an alleged plot to sail from Australia to join Islamic State made no attempt to flee or hide after his co-accused associates were arrested near Cairns, a court has been told.  Murat Kaya was arrested in Melbourne a couple of weeks after five others, including his brother, were intercepted in far north Queensland towing a fishing boat.  Police allege 25-year-old Kaya helped buy the boat from a seller in Bendigo, but stayed in Victoria while the other men drove north.  Investigators have opposed his bid for bail in the Melbourne Magistrates Court, saying he could commit an act of violence in the community if released.  Kaya's co-accused - Paul Dacre, Musa Cerantonio, Shayden Thorne, Kadir Kaya, and Antonio Granata - were allegedly on their way to join Islamic State's growing faction in southern Philippines when they were arrested near Cairns on May 10.  Police raided Kaya's Plumpton home twice before his ultimate arrest weeks later on May 27, his barrister told the court.  "Despite all that previous knowledge he had of the arrest of the others, he remained at his home address," George Georgiou SC said.  "He did not go into hiding, he did not seek to run away."  All six men are charged with making preparations for incursions into foreign countries to engage in hostile activities.  The AFP alleges the group's plot began taking shape in February, when Dacre and Kaya drove to Darwin to inspect a 25-metre former naval vessel.  The men left Victoria with about $50,000 cash, but did not purchase the boat as planned because they were unhappy with its condition.  During that trip, Kaya allegedly said: "I do not want to die in this piece of s*** country, bro."  Mr Georgiou said there were no weapons or explosives found at Kaya's home to suggest he could commit a terrorist act in Australia, or any evidence he had adopted an extremist ideology.  Kaya, a tiler who runs his own business, was the breadwinner and his wife had fallen into debt trying to make ends meet, the court heard.  He was being held in protection - for his own safety - and would likely stay there until his trial, which could be two years away, Mr Georgiou said.  Magistrate Belinda Wallington will announce on Friday whether she will grant Kaya bail.
A man accused of being part of a plot to leave Australia by boat to join Islamic State will learn in days if he will be bailed in Melbourne.
