David Micheal Evans, 34, was last Monday sentenced to four years and 11 months' jail for an aggravated robbery at Oaks Estate. The ACT Supreme Court heard Evans broke the victim's leg when he repeatedly smashed him with an electric guitar, and also broke his ribs when he dropped a speaker on his chest.
Justice Chrissa Loukas-Karlsson told Evans "don't let this be dead time" in jail, but the former president of Satudarah's Canberra chapter has more of it after a sentencing on Monday.
Special Magistrate Margaret Hunter extended Evans' existing non-parole period to finish on March 24, 2023, rather than May 24, 2022. She described some of his offending as "appalling on any view".
Evans phoned a woman from the Alexander Maconochie Centre several times in 2019 and threatened to kill her, "make it my mission", and bleed her like a pig.
He also told the woman she was lucky they had boxed visits, because he'd "cut her f...ing throat".
"I am in no doubt that [Evans] meant for [her] to be scared," Ms Hunter said on Monday.
"The threatening nature of the calls was atrocious."
Evans pleaded guilty in the Magistrates Court to seven counts of using a carriage service to menace or harass the woman, and also pleaded guilty to several unrelated driving offences.
He also admitted to damaging a cell window in jail, and was in court for some of the matters in March this year when he stormed out midway through proceedings and called the prosecutor a mutt.
"Get me the f... out of here", he said during the prosecutor's submissions in March.
"You want to talk shit, you f...ing mutt?"

Ms Hunter on Monday said Evans became "extremely violent, volatile and rude" because he wrongly thought the prosecutor had suggested he threatened children as well as the woman while in jail.
Evans was in custody for the home invasion from February 2019 before he was sentenced.
Ms Hunter previously described his behaviour towards the prosecutor as "foolish" and said he had a "very unfortunate attitude".
Evans was later charged with contempt of court and pleaded guilty over the tirade.
Ms Hunter on Monday sentenced Evans to a total of 20 months in prison for all 13 offences he was charged with, including the driving offences.
He will be eligible for parole in March 2023, but the total jail sentence expires in March 2026.
"You've got a long period to serve, Mr Evans," Ms Hunter said on Monday.
