A 45-year-old man who set fire to a car after being teased has been sentenced to two years in jail in the District Court in Cairns in far north Queensland.

A judge has told a man who stabbed his partner with scissors last June in far north Queensland that he understands the difficulties a homosexual man faces within the Indigenous community.

“[Love for Enemies] “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”
