A recent legal decision has cleared the woman of multiple charges, leaving her guilty of only a traffic violation. The offence involved transporting passengers in the back of a ute, infamously dubbed the ‘bangbus’.
In a conversation with 9news, she refuted claims of a lengthy sentence, stating, “That’s a lie, I’m not, it’s not 10 years.” She clarified, “It’s only six months,” while holding a letter that she asserted confirmed her reduced penalty.
The woman recounted that her concerns were brief, lasting just “a few hours,” as her arrest occurred during the filming of a YouTube video. She expressed disbelief over the situation, maintaining that the activities involving 14 Australians were harmless.
Defending their actions, she remarked, “[They were] just having fun, like most people,” suggesting that the incident was blown out of proportion.
Speaking about the 14 Australians, she claimed they were not doing anything harmful.
“[They were] just having fun, like most people,” she said.
Despite Bali being another destination, like Australia, that she is banned from entering, she insists she will still travel for schoolies celebrations.
“Definitely not”, she responded when asked about whether her Schoolies plans were put on hold.
“I will be at Schoolies 2026 for sure.”
It is unclear if she means she will return to Bali, or try to enter Australia after her previous efforts failed.
