A man in his late sixties who pulled a composite blade box cutter out of his pocket on a Virgin Blue flight while it was taxying from the gate on a Sydney to Brisbane flight, has been released from custody.
The Magistrate said the man who had spent eight days on remand had served enough time, and i must say after watching the old fellow being interviewed on the news it’s easy to see that he is a Kangaroo short in the top paddock.
Obviously the Magistrate felt sorry for the old codger.
