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

    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.

      But he wouldn’t be trespassing unlike them? So what non-argument is that, even… I swear people love cancel culture these days without even reading the articles.

          So not only are both of you wishing for violence, but you’re too stupid to read the article. Seems like a case of ✨being American

            Yet implying that violence towards children is ok if they are deemed to be ‘trespassing’ is fine?

              Violence? You mean restraining them is so unconscionable, the little angels will be so utterly traumatised, unthinkably broken by the experience that it should be illegal on the legal basis of… checks notes… your hurt feelings? 😢

                If it isn’t violence, we didn’t wish for violence. We wished for the same thing

    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.
