Bail granted for Sallam and Bader in alleged large-scale NDIS fraud

Paul McGirr today obtained bail for Muath Sallam and Noura Bader in an alleged large-scale fraud the AFP claims was perpetrated on the NDIS.

The federal police and National Disability Insurance Agency will allege the syndicate claimed $10m from the NDIS since 2017 through three fraudulent NDIS providers, in what is believed to be the largest exploitation of the agency in its history.

Among the operations alleged by police is that the providers skimmed NDIS funding from genuine disabled users of the scheme without their knowledge, by providing inflated invoices to the NDIS for rebates.

Mohammad Sallam, for whom Mr McGirr also appeared, adjourned his matter until 6 May for a bail application.

Paul McGirr obtains bail for client in Pulp Fiction case

Karla Jade Milne was granted bail by Magistrate George Abood after submissions by Paul FC McGirr at Parramatta Local Court in September.

In scenes similar to the Quentin Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction, where Uma Thurman snorts John Travolta’s heroin and has to be revived, Karla Jade Milne’s alleged customers had to be saved by paramedics after a triple overdose at the Meriton Apartments on Kent St in the Sydney CBD in the early hours of September 5.
The trio allegedly had Milne, 26, of Pyrmont, ­deliver what they thought was cocaine to an after-party following a dance party at the Metro Theatre.
Within minutes of snorting the heroin, the three men starting trembling and sweating profusely, documents tendered to Parramatta Bail Court yesterday said.
Milne was granted bail in court yesterday after her lawyer, Paul McGirr, pointed out there was another man with Milne and police couldn’t rule out that he supplied the drugs.
Magistrate George Abood disagreed with the claim that it was a weak case against Milne but granted her $5000 bail.
