The former plasterer was already serving a community corrections order after a police pursuit while drunk-driving, and a conditional release order for affray after joining a brawl.“He did not care at all about the rest of the community,” he said. “What he did was not just irresponsible, not just criminal, but had the real potential to put the lives and the wellbeing of the community at serious risk.
Lawyer David Newham said Kristian Radovanovic’s father had twice tried to buy property in the northern rivers region in 2020, but in June 2021 his senior business partner inspected a farm and in essence communicated that “this is the one”.“At that point in time, they didn’t know they were infected with Covid-19 at all,” the lawyer said.
