On 10 November 2025, an angel in darkness hung from a tripod outside weapons factory, Ferra Engineering at Tingalpa in Brisbane. The angel is holding the shroud of a child, a symbol of the genocide in Gaza. The weapons parts made by Ferra Engineering make it possible for Israel to bomb people in Gaza.
In the subsequent trial, magistrate Zachary Sarra entered no conviction against a Palestinian man who blocked the driveway of a weapons factory complicit in the genocide in Gaza.
This interview provides the reasons given by the Magistrate. however, in a truly unhinged performance of 23 minutes, magistrate Sarra pointed the finger at the accused as if he were to blame for Bondi.

An Indigenous man from a remote Cape York community was wrongly convicted of a traffic offence by a magistrate who repeatedly talked over the defence lawyer’s questions and made a series of “inappropriate” and “intemperate” remarks, an appeal has found.
The court of appeal had this to say about the unnamed magistrate:
“He repeatedly interrupted the appellant’s solicitor while she was making submissions. He told the prosecutor to object to her questions. He made inappropriate and intemperate remarks to the appellant’s solicitor, describing the defence as “something from Bart Simpson”, “very wrong” and “fanciful”, saying “Jesus Christ” and “My god”, telling the appellant’s solicitor she was running cases (plural) in a “very, very odd” way, and that the Magistrate was “not the only one to say that”.
The magistrate, sitting in a circuit court in Aurukun, took about 10 minutes after the hearing to find Rex Austin Ngakyunkwokka guilty of an evasion offence.
“The magistrate made multiple errors of law; the magistrate failed to give adequate reasons for his decision; and that the magistrate ‘impermissibly’ sought to bolster his reasons for conviction by referring to the applicant’s criminal history.”
