A QantasLink flight from Sydney to Canberra returned to Sydney shortly after take-off this afternoon after a fight erupted between 2 passengers. The incident occurred on QF1421, the 2.30pm SYD-CBR service.

Apparently, someone took exception to another passenger sending a text message when the plane was about to take off, and the argument escalated after take-off to the point where the captain decided to divert and offload both men.
