UPDATE: A Whitsunday man who allegedly threatened police and coughed in a cop s face after claiming he had COVID-19 will spend another night in custody as a magistrate considers whether or not to grant bail. Acting Magistrate John Aberdeen told Mackay Magistrates Court he still had concerns about Christopher Leigh Barratt in relation to granting bail. The freedom bid was heard on Tuesday with the case adjourned to Wednesday for a decision, however Mr Aberdeen asked Mr Barratt s solicitor, Rosie Varley, to talk to her client about a possible new bail address and wearing an ankle monitor.
