this is appalling

dear ADF. Grow a spine and support your lads and this joke of a magistrate needs an uppercut.

My ex husband used to train like this...full camouflaged uniform with a piece of metal pipe which weighed the exact same aa a fully loaded rifle!

Let him go

I have a son and 2 son-in-laws in the Army and I fully support any training that they do. I am 100% behind this young soldier.

This is absolutely disgusting and slap in the face for service people from all three services who defend this country.

This is an outrage. Soldiers being victimised trying to better themselves. This should never have reached court

#illtrainwithyou These charges need to be dropped, he was only training for his job with a FAKE gun, shame on Queensland police for even laying charges

I can't personally join the defence force, but if I could #illtrainwithyou

I trained with a fake rifle for the SAS selection course. You need to do this to prepare for the hardest course the Australian Army has to offer. Thsi man shoudl nto have to pay the price for Police over reaction and stupidity.

It will be a travesty if this isn't thrown out. What a ridiculous overreaction. Best wishes mate, I hope you can put it all behind you soon.

True blue Aussie hero

Is there more to this? Was he somewhere he wasn't supposed to be with the training 'weapon'?

What a complete waste of time! No criminal intent, an honest mistake from an outstanding citizen. Laying charges was a disgraceful decision from the QLD Police! If You let Jason Deller bash his child's head with out charge but charge an honerable serving member of the ADF. What planet do you live on QLD Police!

Hopefully common sense prevails

This is disgusting how this soldier has been treated.

#illtrainwithyou

In times of hardship and terror, we'll need people like him!
