Justice Ann Lyons was sentencing Brodie Gary Satterley at the Brisbane Supreme Court when she remarked that while his meth operation “wasn’t the best business, it’s a good business model”.

Sentencing him at Brisbane Supreme Court to three years with immediate parole, the judge encouraged the defendant to use his skills for good.

The Courier-Mail reported Justice Lyons telling Slattery: “You obviously could do very well in business because you clearly are quite intelligent. Can I say that if you actually did some more study you could really make something of yourself? So please don’t come back to court.”
