What was the actual point of this story

He gives lovers of iron maiden a bad name

ABC still labelling people.

what a dipstick...even his choice of music sucks

Lock him up.

He should of been given a high five. Michael Gunner should be locked up, along with any of the other grubs who enforced a mandate on the citizens of Australia.

Sit on a road for 20 minutes in climate protest = 16 months in jail. But this = suspended sentence?

I would prefer to hear about where Covid actually came from

And if the vaccine is killing people indiscriminately, then he’d be considered a hero.

Protesters will continue to vandalise property unless we start locking them up. If their in jail, they can't vandalise our stuff. 🤔

Wrong t-shirt bro.... probably should have been Tina Arena.....

Pretty bad when a person can go into someone’s workplace, ruin it and get a smack on hand…

Good to see the judiciary scared of anti-vaxers just like the politicians. Shit show.

How about

Sounds about right

Wow he must have work for the liberal party to get off that lightly

My fav part - 'She suspended the sentence based on his compliance with bail conditions and because he had endured difficult conditions in Darwin's over-crowded prison while on remand for over three months.' Awwww prison too tough, reduced sentence! Rubbish! These judges....🤦🏼‍♂️🙄

😆 🤣 😂 yeah his a anti vax cos he stood up for his rights and didn't believe in the mainstream lies 🙄

he should have got 6 months for the t-shirt alone!

Michael Gunner's office too... Now you're just showing off Paul.😎👍

More disinformation from 'our' . Paul Holland is not an anti-vax protester, he is an anti-mandate protester.

He did what 100's of millions of people in Australia and around the world wanted to do.

Iron Maiden, overhyped

Remember when one was howled down & ridiculed for suggesting this. It's not safe to speak, and it never will be. But it is even less safe not to speak.

Congrats Paul, keep up the good work.
