Supporters of far-right criminal Blair Cottrell have been warned they risk being charged with contempt of court, after clapping and laughing in front of a Victorian judge.after he and his supporters filmed the beheading of a dummy at Bendigo in 2015 to protest the building of a mosque.
They also clapped after two other videos were played of Cottrell complaining about being labelled an extremist and media coverage of his case.The disruptions prompted Chief Judge Peter Kidd to call for"quiet please" before warning Cottrell's supporters they risked facing contempt of court proceedings."I expect complete silence throughout the course of this case," he said.
Cottrell, Neil Erikson and Christopher Neil Shortis were convicted and fined in 2017 over the beheading video, involving a dummy made of pillows and red liquid squirting from its head.
slackbastard Has no one told Blah its movember? Or does he know but is just a coward.
This is the kind of man they are supporting. At least it’s good to know where all the stupid people are at the same time I suppose.
This is a story and not the flagrant violation of rights to free speech under the constitution AND Victorian law? Not the fact that a working class man has to fight an unconstitutional conviction, and the full power of the state? Defund the SBS now!
Please refer to him as the moronic racist that he is, not 'far right leader'. It gives him credibility he doesnt deserve.
What about the 'people' who refuse to stand shouldn't that be considered contempt as well or too hard basket
Far right criminal is a tautology. Please adjust your headline.

They haven’t enough brain cells between them to work out what contempt means
