From memory, it's something like, I mean, this is probably dinosaur stuff that I'm going to come out with here.

But it was about 120,000 a year to keep a prisoner in jail.

Would that be still right?

Or is that totally underestimating the cost of it?

So he's been two years nearly in jail.

Is that right?

And that's literally just accommodation and food and medical and whatever else.

That's not including the cost of the time in the courts, the lawyers, the prosecution, everything, the prison officers' time up and down to the courts.

Where are we going with this?

Yes.

And of course, contempt of court, you go away to prison and you come back and you have to kind of give your commitment to the court when you come back that you're not going to be in contempt of court again.

So the two women, the mother, Martina, and the sister, Ami, who are shouting and kind of, you know, constantly interrupting the proceedings as Judge Justice Brian Cregan said.

are they going to stop that from two weeks in prison?

Are they going to come back into the court and do the whole thing over again?

And then you're into this same gerbil wheel with them.

So you now have three members of the Burke family, if so.

But I mean, Martina, certainly the mother, has been physically removed from the courts, the high court.

I think nearly every time that there's a case that she's asked, she seems to be taken out.

Yeah.

You know, two legs and two arms.
