Joshua Baird denied bail in ACT after allegedly trying to burn an Australian flag in court, threatening staff, and making anti-Semitic remarks on February 12, 2026.
Joshua Aaron Baird, 43, was denied bail in the Australian Capital Territory on March 12, 2026, after allegedly attempting to burn an Australian flag in court on February 12 during a disruptive outburst involving threats, anti-Semitic remarks, and physical intimidation.
The incident led to court closure and police involvement.
Baird, already on parole with a history of property damage and unresolved mental health issues, faces charges including contempt of court, causing public alarm, unlawful fire-starting, and making threats.
Despite appearing more subdued and being represented by Legal Aid, Chief Magistrate Lorraine Walker ruled proposed bail conditions insufficient due to ongoing safety concerns and his defiant past.
The case continues with Baird remaining in custody.
