I'm really sick of reading this 'crim is the victim' crap.
Time will tell.. as the ozzies and the yanks have discovered, the victims who pay for his behaviour might be as widespread as 'every single person who ever has reason to visit a GA airport'. It depends what sort of policy changes are enacted as a knee jerk response to this thing. An expensive upgrade in perimeter fencing at Ardmore (maybe 'all airports') with a big increase in security patrols would be fairly predictable, as will the massive gouge in landing fees that go with it.
The insurance companies could predictably ratchet up the premiums on all GA aircraft across the board, as they did after 9/11 in the US. (which of course had nothing to do with a 210 parked in a Kansas cornfield, but Farmer Brown paid through the nose anyway, as did every passenger of every part 135 operator as a result). Yip, potentially EVERYBODY will pay for this f#@!wad and his little tantrum. How anyone could support anything other than a prison sentence for offending of this nature is just beyond belief.
He pissed in the face of all NZ pilots, and clearly doesn't give a toss about any of you.
