Mr McLennan said Barrett began using ice with an unemployed peer group after he had lost his job “and essentially he’s been off the rails since then”.
When Mr McLennan said Barrett would be able to live with and be supported by his parents at Grasstree Beach, Judge Vicki Loury pointed out he had family support when he committed these crimes.
Judge Loury described Barrett’s upbringing as privileged and said he had a criminal history.
“It seems to be that you are in clear need of supervision,” Judge Loury said, later telling the young father he needed to grow up and be a role model for his child.

The ringleader behind two fierce bashings in Mackay has been jailed for the random savagery against a taxi driver and a man waiting at a bus stop. You seemed to be motivated to simply hurt these men, Judge Vicki Loury said in sentencing Bronson Beau Tomarra on Thursday. But barrister Paul Rutledge said his 22 year old client had been dealing with significant grief, was angry and aimless when he attacked the two victims. The violence occurred over two consecutive nights, July 8 and 9, in 2019. Mackay District Court heard it began when Tomarra and three others caught a taxi from Beaconsfield to the city fringe about 10pm.
