A man who received a good behaviour bond after broadcasting threatening messages towards a member of SA's parliament over CB radio has been jailed for eight months after continuing the abuse.
Adelaide man John Alexander Kiss, 53, had previously avoided jail despite admitting he breached his bond by stabbing a woman and her dog in Queensland in 2017.
Kiss received a two-year good behaviour bond and a nine-month suspended sentence in 2015, for what the judge at the time described as foul and abusive language that "constituted outrageous, inexcusable behaviour on your part".
The original offending occurred between April and June 2013.
The latest breaches of the good behaviour bond through CB radio broadcasts occurred between December 2017 and March 2019.
District Court Judge Michael Durrant described the new messages aired on radio as "defamatory, derogatory, racist, sexist and homophobic".
They "included multiple baseless and vile accusations" against a South Australian state MP, Judge Durrant said.
Kiss admitted to stabbing woman and dog
Kiss admitted to two counts of causing harm with intent to cause harm — once through using the CB radio to abuse and threaten and to call for violence, along with another for stabbing a woman and her dog in Queensland in 2017.
Judge Durrant described the offending in the Ipswich suburb of Rosewood as "serious violence".
The Queensland Times reported Kiss accidentally stabbed a woman he met online while trying to stab her dog.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority received several complaints about his broadcasts, including one in which he said the MP "deserved to have his head kicked in".
Judge Durrant said the remarks were "unrelenting and highly derogatory and insulting and targeted … in a similar way to the offending for which you received a nine-month sentence in 2015".
He ordered Kiss to continue seeing a psychiatrist for his paranoid personality disorder beyond the end of his eight-month custodial sentence.
The sentence also included time for breaching the federal Radio Communications Act through using the spectrum for an unauthorised use — the abusive broadcasts.
