BuzzFeed News reported earlier this month that Simon Brandis was charged with "wilful damage" but the case was dismissed in the Brisbane magistrate's court in January 2014.

Simon Brandis's lawyer in the case was Liberal National Party donor Theo Tavoularis, who was later appointed by George Brandis to a plum position at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

George Brandis admitted to personally appointing his son's former lawyer and LNP donor to the five-year legal role worth $370,000 a year.
