A man who issued a slur-laden death threat to the prime minister and his wife during a months-long social media tirade has been spared jail.

Alexander Phillip David Keating, 37, was on Tuesday convicted in Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court of using social media platform X to menace, harass and offend.
