A Melbourne man who tweeted support for Sydney siege gunman Man Haron Monis and urged Islamic State to behead captives has had his bail conditions relaxed.
Khodr Moustafa Taha, of Brunswick, also sent threats to Victoria Police and warned "An officer will die", in a series of tweets published from October to December last year.
He was arrested on January 2 but released on bail later that month on condition he report to police every day.
Taha was due to be sentenced on Thursday but Melbourne's Deputy Chief Magistrate Jelena Popovic adjourned the matter until May to allow for a more detailed assessment of Taha's mental condition.
She relaxed Taha's bail conditions so he will only be required to report to police four days a week.
The police prosecutor did not oppose the change in Taha's bail condition.
Upon releasing Taha on bail in January, Ms Popovic praised the 35-year-old for fully complying with nine court-assigned programs imposed after he pleaded guilty to 10 offences.
Along with charges of possessing swords and ammunition and using a carriage service to threaten, Taha has also been charged with assault.
In December he punched his mother, giving her a black eye.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott and US President Barack Obama were among the people targeted by Taha's Twitter rants.
Another of his tweets urged jihadist group Islamic State to behead its captives.
"As soon as you get them execute them film it send it to the parents of the victim," the tweet read.
Taha also abused Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and federal Treasurer Joe Hockey.
Mr Abbott in January questioned Ms Popovic's decision to grant bail, an application that had been opposed by police.
"It does seem a very questionable bit of judicial judgment," Mr Abbott told Fairfax radio.
Taha threw a cup of coffee at a reporter as he exited the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday.
