- A GP, he used the internet to access child abuse material. A psychologist said it was part of compulsive pornography use that 'crossed the child pornography boundary'. Pleaded guilty to one count of using a carriage service to access child pornography (Criminal Code (Cth) s 474.19(1)); 12 months' imprisonment, released immediately on an 18-month good behaviour and supervision order.
