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.
