Hilarious Magistrates Court
Sitting in Heidelberg Magistrates Court waiting to be heard can be tedious, but there was one bright moment recently. A defendant pleaded guilty to a a few charges, one of which was theft of one banana from a shop.
The Magistrate's immediate reaction when the charge was read was to look at the prosecutor and the defence lawyer and ask "Shouldn't this case be heard in the County Court?"*
Her Honour Ms Lamble, Magistrate, is hilarious.
*For anyone reading this who doesn't work in the Court system, a case must go to the County Court if the value of the stolen goods exceeds $25,000.00

nice one.
Don't make too light of the banana issue. In some parts of the Premier State (their title, not mine) security guards have been hired to protect deliveries. I kid you not.
