Description

Reality television star Matt Wright, known for his role in The Outback Wrangler, has been sentenced to ten months in jail, suspended after five months, for attempting to pervert the course of justice following a fatal helicopter crash in February 2022. The crash killed his co-star and left the pilot paraplegic. Wright was also fined $5,000 for lying to police. The incident occurred during a crocodile-egg collecting trip in Arnhem Land, where prosecutors alleged Wright attempted to hide his helicopters flying-hour meters being regularly disconnected and falsified paperwork. Wrights actions were deemed a serious attempt to obstruct justice, despite his community contributions.
