At the risk of thread drift, I am surprised that no one has commented on last Friday’s Virgin flight from Brisbane to Bali that diverted to Darwin. It is ‘alleged’ (love that mealy mouthed word) that three morons seated in an emergency exit row got stuck into their duty free. Asked to move (safety grounds, obviously), became disruptive, but eventually did move. Continued on the grog and one is ‘alleged’ to have vaped.
Cops in DRW carted them away, but released them from custody, pending probable fines, no mention of jail. Apparently the maximum fine is $9000, but if they are lucky to get the magistrate who dealt with a similar case on Air Asia a couple of weeks ago, they will only be fined $500. Then, if we are to believe the report of that incident, they were permitted to board the next Air Asia flight to Bali. Unbelievable.
Oh, for CC to be issued with cattle prods…
