A Gladstone man who appeared in court by video link from behind bars, seemed more concerned about staying with his partner than his predicament.
He pleaded guilty in Gladstone Magistrates Court on January 5 to contravening a domestic violence order.
The court was told the 51-year-old had a one-page criminal history with several prior domestic violence convictions.
The most serious was for a choking offence which he was on parole for when he committed the offence that he was facing.
The court was told the man had an extensive New South Wales criminal history with offences including stalking, assault, affray and contravening domestic violence orders.
