This is the best summary I could come up with:
The incident, after a 3-hour Air New Zealand flight from Auckland, occurred last December and a Sydney court fined the 53-year-old man 600 Australian dollars ($395) for offensive behavior in February, officials said Friday.
The incident only came to public attention on Friday, when New Zealand news website Stuff reported that a passenger in the same row, identified only as Hollv, said she had reported the behavior to the air crew.
Holly said the plane had been on the tarmac for about 20 minutes, waiting for a terminal gate to be allocated, when she heard the unmistakable sound of the passenger urinating in a cup, Stuff reported.
She said the man was “obviously quite drunk” and spilled urine on a flight attendant as he left the plane, it reported.
Australian Federal Police said in a statement that officers removed him from the plane because he had “urinated into a cup while in his seat.”
It said it bans between five and 10 customers each month for disruptive behavior, including intoxication.
