Matej Radelic is given a spent conviction and a fine after being convicted of two counts of aggravated common assault, after cable-tying the hands of three children in Broome.

The incident gained national attention after a video showing two children cable-tied on Radelic’s property was live streamed on social media.

      Fascinating how Lemmizens are super OK with body shaming when it’s someone unlikable.

        This man chose to do this to his neck.

    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.

        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?

    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.

    Interestingly that the same use of force on a third child wasn’t unreasonable just because the kid managed to escape…
