The court today heard that the man had also grabbed his partner's neck and forced her to the ground before punching her three times.In handing down his sentence, ACT Magistrate Glen Theakston said threatening to inflict injury with a chainsaw was "alarming" and said it "had the serious risk of causing significant injury to her if things got out of control.
He further noted that since the man was in custody over the offences, he has been unable to work, causing him to incur a $70,000 debt.CCTV vision of the man threatening the woman with the chainsawThe man can be heard screaming "You're going to die, bitch. You're going to die," as the woman screams for help.Lawyers representing the man said he "never intended to carry out the threat"."She was screaming for help … and at that time, fearful for her life.
The man disputed some of the facts in the case, and Magistrate Theakston noted that the woman continued to return to the property after the threats. "What the facts don't really articulate is the way the complainant returns to re-engage," Magistrate Theakston said.He will now serve a 12-month good behaviour bond.

Yeah wow good work Justice system. Gronks.
The good behaviour was that he didn’t actually chop them up with the chainsaw? Am I correct in this assumption?
Stay tuned for 'a chainsaw massacre 2'
And when the poor woman ends up dead, who do we blame?
The courts/Australian justice system continuing to fail domestic violence victims.
Silly man. Chainsaws cause shear force on human flesh, you can't get very neat dismemberment with such a tool. Luckily he's out in society to find the right weapon next time!
Obviously a whitey. Blackfulla would have 40 9mm slugs in him by now.

Desperate measures: Morrison in danger of misjudging what Australians think is importantOpinion: Scott Morrison began with a statement of disapproval ... then, he went on. His answer to the question about violence took him 80 words. There were 300 words after that. The PM is in danger of misjudging what Australians think is important | ... Women protesting violence: 'They're lucky not to be shot' Kids protesting govt inaction on climate: 'Children should be at school getting an education, not out on the streets protesting' Gallows wielding far right right wackos: 'We've got to understand their frustrations' JJKALE2 To Morrison, only his corrupt crime regime and the QAnon white supremacists and the Pentecostal Rapture fiends are Australians. The rest of us don’t exist. “Don’t forget, either, that the vast majority of Australians are vaccinated, and want others to be vaccinated; they might not be happy with a leader who seems just fine with those who choose not to get the jab.”
