    Ipswich magistrate's rebuke over court appearance


    A woman has been told off by a magistrate for coming to court "dressed like she was going to the gym".
    Ipswich Magistrate Stuart Shearer criticised 20-year-old Breanna Daphney Potter, who pleaded guilty to driving on a suspended licence and to failing to dispose of a syringe, when she showed up in court dressed in a Nike singlet and women's running shorts.
    "Do you think it's appropriate to come to court dressed as if you are going to the gym?" he asked Potter.
    "This is a formal proceeding and you are expected to dress appropriately."
    Potter was convicted and fined $800. Her licence was also disqualified for a month.
