Young partygoer Isac Daniel Livesey regrets his drunken actions at the 2021 Moura Coal and Country Festival

A young partygoer “could not control himself’” after his sister was punched at a Central Queensland festival, but his drunken antics landed him in court.

A young partygoer “saw red” after his sister was punched at a Central Queensland festival, but his drunken antics landed him in court.

Isac Daniel Livesey, 22, pleaded guilty in Biloela Magistrates Court on October 13 to charges of obstructing police and public nuisance in the vicinity of a licensed premises while intoxicated.

Those charges stemmed from Livesey’s behaviour at the 2021 Moura Coal and Country Festival on August 29.

In the early hours of that Sunday morning, about 1.45am, Livesey was in the licensed area of a bar.

This area was operating under a community liquor permit at the time.

The licensed area had ceased trading and patrons were in the process of finishing their drinks prior to leaving.

The attention of police was drawn to a scuffle between Livesey and other patrons.

A police sergeant approached Livesey who was yelling and grappling with other people in the crowd.

The police officer released Livesey and told him to calm down.

Livesey ignored the sergeant and continued yelling and engaging with other patrons.

Livesey was told he was under arrest and he then pulled away from the officer to re-engage with patrons whom he was having a dispute with.

Two officers then assisted the sergeant to remove Livesey who continued to struggle and resist the whole way to a police vehicle.

Livesey was unsteady on his feet and by his own admissions, had consumed a “substantial quantity” of alcohol.

Livesey was taken to the Moura Police Station where he calmed down and apologised for his actions.

Livesey’s solicitor said Livesey, who had previously worked in bar staff and sandblasting jobs, had recently lost his employment and was looking for work.

“He accepts he was very intoxicated on the night, he doesn’t really remember much of what happened,” Livesey’s solicitor said.

“What he does remember is that his older sister was there with him - she was being harrassed by an older male.

“The male has punched my client’s sister and my client has involved himself with that.

“Effectively he saw red and could not control (himself).”

Magistrate Philippa Beckinsale ordered Livesey perform 60 hours of unpaid community service within six months.

A conviction was recorded.
