A father has faced court after calling in a bomb threat that caused morning peak hour chaos because he wanted to stop his wife from getting to her IVF appointment.
The Queensland dad walked free on probation despite about 80 people on four buses being forced to be evacuated as a result of his call in what the judge called a 'strange case'.
Jeffrey Owen Diprose, 39, from Redland Bay, in Brisbane's south-east, called bus operator Translink from a public phone box on October 28, 2021, claiming he had planted an explosive device on a bus on route 281.
