Dictator's daughter learns fate over Jetstar antics
The Australian daughter of late Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos, who admitted to drinking from a bottle of alcohol smuggled on-board and disrupting a Jetstar flight to Sydney, has escaped with a $800 fine. Analisa Josefa Corr, 53, and partner James Alexander Corr, 45, were sentenced in the Downing Centre Local Court in Sydney on Monday for their actions on-board a Hobart-to-Sydney flight that prompted airline staff to ask the Australian Federal Police for assistance. The couple on Monday admitted to drinking alcohol they brought aboard flight JQ720 on December 28 last year and Ms Corr also pleaded guilty to acting in a disorderly manner. The court was told that she only had one sip from a bottle she and her husband had brought on the flight, and at the time she had also consumed painkillers – Panadeine Forte – for broken ribs. The court was told that Ms Corr was taken into custody on the tarmac after the couple were met by AFP officers. In January, they pleaded not guilty to all charges. But in court on Monday, Ms Corr pleaded guilty to one count of consuming alcohol not provided by cabin crew and behaving in an offensive or disorderly manner affecting safety. Prosecutors withdrew one count of assault and one count of not complying with the cabin crew's safety instructions. Mr Corr pleaded guilty to consuming alcohol not provided by crew, while another charge of not complying with the cabin crew's safety instructions was withdrawn. Their lawyers asked magistrate Rosheehan O'Meagher not to record a conviction because it would affect their ability to travel internationally for work. The couple had been in Indonesia, developing an app to assist sailors, the court was told. Ms O'Meagher described their actions as out of character and noted they were remorseful. 'On the flip side to that, this is a serious matter, it is a fairly prevalent offence. Because people become intoxicated on planes, it causes problems, it causes havoc,' she said. Ms O'Meagher also told the couple that she had to 'send a message to the community.' Both were convicted and Ms Corr was fined $800 and Mr Corr was fined $400. Outside court on Monday, Ms Corr's solicitor Jasmina Ceic said both would be lodging an appeal. More to come

Jail threat to socialite banned from Westfield
A socialite once banned from Bondi Junction Westfield has been warned she could 'end up in jail' if she does not change her ways, as she was convicted of heroin supply. Elisha Dalah, 38, is the daughter of ex-Elizabeth Bay Marina co-owner Michael Dalah. She is the elder sibling of Fishbowl founder Nathan Dalah, and sister-in-law to his Victoria Secret model wife Georgia Fowler. She appeared at Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday flanked by her parents as she narrowly avoided a prison sentence for supplying a small quantity of heroin in September 2024. Ms Dalah had pleaded guilty to the charge in February, and has spent time in a rehabilitation program ahead of her sentence. Socialite, Elisha Dalah has been warned she could 'end up in jail' if she does not change her ways. NewsWire / John Appleyard Credit: News Corp Australia Ms Dalah was convicted but did not receive a custodial sentence after pleading guilty to supplying a small amount of heroin. NewsWire / John Appleyard Credit: News Corp Australia She sat quietly in court on Tuesday, supported by her mother and father. Her solicitor Carla Velasquez asked Magistrate Rosheehan O'Meagher for a Section 10 application. Ms O'Meagher told the court a message needed to be sent to the community in terms of the seriousness of the offence. 'The maximum penalty for this offence in the district court is 15 years in prison … in the local court it is capped at two years,' she said. 'That shows you how serious an offence this is and it is treated as so because of the serious consequences of drug supply in terms of serious health implications … which I am sure you are aware of.' Ms O'Meagher convicted Ms Dalah of the charge, but said the socialite had already served her punishment after spending four and a half months in custody ahead of sentencing. She has also been attending a rehabilitation program which she continues to attend as an outpatient and will attend 'for as long as possible', the court was told. 'You've learnt some things … but looking at your record … we need you to get the message that if you keep offending you will end up in jail, and I don't think that's a life you want for yourself,' Ms O'Meagher said. Ms Dalah was convicted and will not receive any further penalty. The 38-year-old also avoided jail after being caught stealing luxury face creams and designer clothing from a Westfield shopping centre in July 2022. She was instead sentenced in 2023 to a 20-month intensive correction order and 200 hours of community service for two counts of larceny over the incident, and ordered to pay a $500 fine for entering Westfield Bondi Junction while banned.
