A WA cattle farmer has been slapped with a year-long ban at every licensed venue in the state, after an incident with a nightclub bouncer.
Kyle Ferguson has slammed his punishment as “un-Australian”, despite admitting he threw a punch after being refused entry.
The 20-year-old cattle farmer has become a TikTok sensation who describes himself as a rum drinking, ute driving cowboy.
“I do get on the piss a lot, we go out to properties, we shoot s—, we do burnouts, typical 20-year-old stuff,” Ferguson told reporters outside court.
The cattle musterer said he doesn’t think he could go a year without booze.
“I love the square bear, the old sugar cane champagne a little too much to give that up,” he said.
Adding: “There’s certainly six other states I can go to to drink.”
The 20-year-old claims it was his country attire that sparked a war of words with a Northbridge bouncer last month.

He was out drinking with mates when he tried entering Paramount nightclub.
“This bloke pulled me out of the line onto the street and said look mate you can’t come in here just because you’re dressed like a f—— redneck,” he said.
That’s when he says the situation turned violent.
“This is unfair. He goes chucks me wallet and ID across the road and goes what are you going to do about it?” he said.
“[So] I threw the first punch.”
He’s been charged with failing to leave a licensed premises when required to do so and fighting in public to cause fear.
Kyle Ferguson is fighting to have his year-long ban overturned. If he is caught at any licenced venues, he’ll face a $10,000 fine.
Ferguson says his mum and dad are “disappointed in me” but adds “all me mates say I’m a bloody legend”.
