Gyngell and Packer given infringement notices for ‘offensive behaviour’
NSW Police have handed infringement notices to billionaire casino mogul James Packer and Nine Entertainment CEO David Gyngell for “offensive conduct” over the street brawl which occurred on Sunday afternoon.
According to a statement, NSW police say the pair will not be charged with affray but rather have been handed the notices, which do not constitute a criminal charge, with the lesser offence following days of sustained media coverage of the fight and subsequent public reaction.
It is understood the pair will be fined $500 each, which a spokesman for Gyngell said he would pay without contesting the charge.
The statement:
That’ll teach those billionaires.
The trackie dacks alone should warrant the charge let alone the biffo.
This is nothing but a trial by media. Oh, hang on a second…
Both of them look like they couldn’t knock the skin of a rice custard
