Guy Sebastian may have bested his retired neighbor with a brick during a vicious confrontation, a court has heard, as the pop star’s defiant arch-nemesis warns he “doesn’t care” what happens to him.
Phillip Hanslow, 66, has been charged with threatening to kill the musician and tearing down the fence of his adjoining Maroubra properties during an alleged incident on January 23.
The former builder arrived at Waverley Local Court on Thursday morning in high spirits, without his frail wife Carol and fresh from an emergency operation to remove part of his intestine.
The court case involving Hanslow has centered on a request for CCTV footage of Sebastian’s footage, which his high-profile defense lawyer Bryan Wrench believes he told the court could be important to the case.
“We hope the footage shows (Sebastian) standing over Mr Hanslow with a brick in his hand,” he said.

The bitter feud between Guy Sebastian, 41, his wife Jules Egan, 43, and their neighbor Phillip Hanslow began in 2013.
The security camera is located on Sebastian’s side of the fence, just above where the alleged altercation took place.
Sebastian was ordered by the court to produce footage of the incident by February 23, but was granted an extension until March 9.
However, Mr Wrench told the court that the images had not been delivered before the new deadline.
Mr Wrench revealed new details of their alleged confrontation.
“Mr Hanslow was fixing up his fence to match Guy Sebastian’s look at the time,” Mr Wrench told the court.
‘The fence is already finished and I think it’s a pretty good render.’
The magistrate joked: ‘What do they say? Good fences make good neighbors.
Wrench said he did not believe the matter would be resolved, indicating that he would likely go to a hearing.

The magistrate gave Sebastián until March 23 to deliver the images. Failure to pass the images could result in his arrest, and the matter would return to court in May.
Outside of court, Hanslow exclusively told Daily Mail Australia that he was not concerned about the conclusion of the case.
“I don’t really care what happens to me,” he told Daily Mail Australia.
‘What are you going to do to me? Keep the AVO (apprehended violence order) and fine me for the fence?
I wouldn’t even be here if Guy wasn’t famous.
The court previously heard how, during the January 23 altercation, Hanslow allegedly told the Battle Scars hitmaker “I’m going to put a bullet in your head,” but believes he actually said “one day someone’s going to put a bullet in your head.” head”. head’.
Police raided Hanslow’s home in the days that followed, arriving at the old man’s home while he was in the bathroom.
“They broke into the back of the house, broke down the door and entered the house while I was in the bathroom and arrested me and then took me out of the police station and I spent six and a half hours in jail just because of a heated argument. . between neighbours, which I think is really over the top,” Mr Hanslow previously said.
He was arrested, accused and beaten with an order of violence apprehended for the protection of Sebastián, prohibit him from contacting the singer or setting foot on his property.

The bitter dispute began in 2013 when Sebastian, 41, and his wife Jules Egan, 43, bought a property in Maroubra, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, for $3.1 million.
But when it’s torn down to make way for their sprawling new dream home, it sparks the epic feud between the Sebastians and Mr. Hanslow.
Mr Hanslow claimed that demolition debris damaged his home when a ‘brick missile’ slammed into an outside wall, narrowly missing his living room window and his terminally ill wife Carole, who was watching the tv inside.
And he criticized the final design of Sebastian’s new house as an ugly fortress for its imposing, windowless façade, which runs all the way to the edge of his house.
Mr. Hanslow has now been thrown out of the house, believed to be owned by his wife Carol, and instead lives in a dilapidated property in Carlton with his ailing wife and their pet bird, Boo Boo.
But the former builder, who was forced into retirement by fibromyalgia, still returns to his Maroubra home to work on renovations.
