Comedian
Jimbo Bazoobi, real name James Dezarnaulds, had been ordered to pay the A$440
(£293; $464) penalty for damaging vegetation last August.
Police
had argued that Mr Dezarnaulds acted recklessly in allowing the hungry goat,
Gary, to approach the flower bed.
But
the magistrate said there was no evidence he had put Gary to the deed.
Magistrate
Carolyn Barkell said Mr Dezarnaulds had no control over what the animal might
eat, and was unaware of his preference for flowers over grass.
She
added that the fine should never had been issued.
"Gary
the Goat taught the... cops a valuable lesson... don't bite off more than you
can chew," Mr Dezarnaulds said after the verdict.
Gary
was not called to give evidence and waited outside the court, surrounded by
reporters.
