Southport Magistrates Court heard Hugh McMahon, 18, an Irish citizen in Australia on a one-year work visa, was ejected from the Sin City nightclub in Surfers Paradise when he was found sleeping on one of the club's couches.

Police were called just after 1 a.m. when club-goers heard McMahon calling for help from an air vent, where he had become wedged. "Drunk or sober it is a remarkably stupid thing you've done," Magistrate Ron Kilner said. McMahon was fined $900 and ordered to pay $1,200 restitution for damage to the building's roof and $500 for the rescue from emergency services personnel.
