On Tuesday, Ms McLaughlin imposed the same sentence on Gardiner, 19, who also pleaded guilty to assault.

She told Gardiner that such incidents clearly demonstrated the consequences of the "excessive" consumption of alcohol.

"I hope this sends a salient message to you at a young age to control what you drink and control your actions."

The court was told the pair had been in a relationship for about 12 months.

They spent the evening of December 23 at the Springdale Heights Tavern, then returned home to Stanley Street in a taxi.

Once home they realised Gardiner had lost his wallet, inside which was the key to their unit.

She phone police and then went to the Albury station, where she was offered advice on how to enter the unit.

Gardiner and the woman met a short time later, on December 24 about 12.45am, in QEII Square.
