He was not given a fine, it was suspended for 12 months. He has essentially escaped consequence, which is just so disappointingly unsurprising for Western Australia.
Is Western Australia like Texas?
A girl (American) I gamed with who married an Aussie, described Australia as a lot like America but more racist. Granted, that was 10yrs ago. So, maybe?
It seems like country's that were/are heavily influenced by American culture are more racist than ones that aren't. I wouldn't be surprised if that was wrong though, humanity as a whole is pretty xenophobic
Similar to Texas, it has its own secession movement.

Does he have a neck?
I think he left it in the trash can with his cold dead racist heart.
Nice to know that I can restrain people in anyway I deem fit if I decide they are trespassing on my property, as long as I contact the police at some point... So reasonable. I hope someone does the same shit to him next time he goes to buy his roids.
Decency is stored in the neck.
What the fuck is wrong with some people?
Interesting that the same use of force on a third child wasn't unreasonable just because the kid managed to escape...
The "unreasonableness" of the use of force was the duration, not the act itself. Police took 40 mins to come, so he ziptied them for 40 mins.
Why aren't the parents in trouble? If I let my 6 year old daughter break into someone's backyard and swim in their pool I'd lose custody. This is the real problem.
In Australia you have to have a fence around any backyard pool, including shallow little blow up pools, because children will get into your yard and drown. So I guess it's expected. Also, going into someone's yard to get a lost ball was pretty normal when I was a kid and would not have resulted in losing custody.
