He faces charges after a 72-year-old penguin warden was assaulted on New Years Day at Manly Cove.
It is alleged Oatley pushed the warden after she complained about a dog which had jumped from Oatley's boat and started to chase penguins.
The accused walked sheepishly from court after his matter was adjourned until February seventh.
