As NSW builds more prisons (SMH 28/12/20- 1000 bed prison at Camellia) and inequality grows apace, it is interesting to look at what penalties are given for what.  Here is an article about a multimillion dollar owner of aged care homes where 38 residents died of COVID.

He was charged with 101 counts of rorting a government taxi scheme that subsidised fares for disabled people,  pleaded guilty to three to the value of $3000 and got no conviction and 6 months community service.

His nursing home is being investigated and faces a class action on behalf of residents. He resigned when the media drew attention to his lavish lifestyle.  His lawyer warns against defaming his client.
