BREAKING: A Sri Lankan transgender far left activist avoids jail after bombing a toilet at Melbourne’s Land Forces defence expo. Malith Shamera Fernando, 25, of Blackburn, detonated a homemade incendiary device in the male toilets at the Melbourne Convention Centre on 12 Sept 2024, while people were in nearby cubicles. It created a small fire and $4,600 damage. He scoped the venue the day before using his engineer ticket. Police found 28 more homemade devices at his home, plus cannabis trafficking, ketamine and other drugs. Protest material about “Free Palestine” and “disrupt Melbourne” was also recovered. He pleaded guilty. The prosecution demanded jail but soft on migrant crime Magistrate Donna Bakos gave him a Community Corrections Order, therapy and drug programs, and told him to pay the $4,600. Why he avoided jail time? Because prison would be “more onerous” due to his mental health diagnoses and gender status. So a biological male who planted a bomb at a defence expo, stockpiled more explosives, and dealt drugs walks free, because the judge decided jail might be too hard for him. Two tier justice on full display.
