Amos,
What's Kirby J. got to do with this?
B A Lert,
Is the transcript - or judgment - available on the net? I would like to read it.
IMHO assault is serious enough not to qualify for a s.556A (a section of the Crimes Act whereby you can have a penalty imposed but no conviction recorded for a first offence - allows behaviour way out of character to be sort-of excused) but Lert is right in that we don't know all the facts.
But, it appears that
Jetstar are considering appealing. For once, I wish JQ well.
