Justice Daubney found Rosser “not an appropriate person to practise as a lawyer” and recommended that he be removed from the Queensland list of lawyers. He was convicted again in 2016 and fined $1500 for posing as a lawyer 12 times during his visit to a police station and for failing to correct officials who assumed he was a lawyer when providing legal advice to individuals.
