Matt Wright trial: Pilot's alleged spray at boss over stormy weather egg collection request
A young pilot told the Outback Wrangler to 'get f--ked, get vaccinated and go fly his own helicopter' after his boss chewed him out for pulling out of an unsafe mission. Sebastian Robinson on Friday finished giving evidence after being grilled over four days in the trial of Aussie reality television star, Matt Wright. The Apple TV and Netflix star has pleaded not guilty to three counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice during the investigation into a chopper crash that killed his co-star Chris 'Willow' Wilson. It is not alleged Mr Wright is responsible for the crash. On Friday the Northern Territory jury heard about the 'Australia Day incident' where the 28-year-old pilot and Mr Wright had a fight a month before the fatal crash. Pilot Sebastian Robinson and Outback Wrangler star Matt Wright on a crocodile egg collecting mission in January 2016. Photo: Supplied Mr Robinson said on January 26, he, Mr Wilson and fellow pilot Michael Burbidge were contracted for a crocodile egg collecting mission at the mouth of the Daly River, in the NT. The jury was shown photos of the chopper with an oncoming Wet Season storm looming in the background. Mr Robinson said he radioed Mr Burbidge to say 'it was too dangerous to continue, because the storm was huge', and they mutually agreed to head back into town. He said they went back to the Noonamah Tavern to watch the traditional Australia Day 'ute run' and have a 'beer and a feed'.

Mr Robinson said Mr Wright called him 'very hostile and abusive', telling the young pilot 'What the f--k are youse doing back? Egg collecting's not meant to be f—king easy'. 'You sit out there, you f--king ... you wait the weather out. You f--king deal with it,' Mr Wright allegedly said. The jury has previously heard Mr Wright was not able to take part in egg collecting missions in early 2022 because he was an 'anti-vaxxer'. 'I told him to get f--ked, get vaccinated and fly his own helicopter,' Mr Robinson said on Friday. In a group chat with Mr Burbidge and Mr Wilson, the young pilot alleged Mr Wright 'called us all bludgers' for pulling out of the dangerous conditions. The young pilot this contributed to his decision to leave Mr Wright's Helibrook, and he establishing his own company Arnhem Helicopters. Mr Wright sent Mr Robinson a message the next day saying he was 'sorry for blowing up'. The trial continues on Monday.

Taylor Swift fans warned of scammers trying to cash in after new album announced
Swifties have been warned to be alert for scammers trying to cash in on Taylor Swift's new album announcement using fake pre-orders, links to leaked downloads and dodgy merchandise to steal money from excited fans. Taylor Swift appeared on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast on Wednesday to announce her upcoming album Life of a Showgirl, which is due to be released on October 3. The new album can be pre-ordered through Taylor Swift's website, but NAB has warned fans to watch out for scammers turning to Swiftie-mania for fast money. Swifties have been warned to be alert for scammers trying to cash in on Taylor Swifts new album announcement. Picture: NewsWire/ Ben Symons NAB Security Culture and Advisory head Tessa Bowles said the bank stopped and recovered close to $2m in scam payments each month. 'When excitement is high, criminals know fans will rush to make purchases, reminding people to stop, check and protect,' she said. 'Before you hand over your payment details, make sure you're paying for the real thing, not some imitation of a showgirl.' Ms Bowles said red flags to look out for were fake pre-order sites that mimicked Taylor's official store to steal payments or deliver nothing and links to leaked tracks that hid malware. She said scammers often promoted social media giveaways but were impersonators pretending to offer exclusive access in exchange for personal information or a fee or hijacked accounts pretending to sell spare merchandise.

(Republic Records via AP) Ms Bowles said fans should stay in their 'safe-ty era' by going to the official site and websites of trusted retailers. 'Criminals thrive on urgency and fear,' she said. 'If you see 'get in quick' or 'last chance offer' on something that sounds too good to be true, pause and double-check it first. 'Buying items through social media or online marketplaces always comes with a risk. If you decide to proceed with the purchase, do so with caution, checking whether the seller has a legitimate profile, other listings and reviews. 'Using PayID can also help reduce the risk of fraud or payments being sent to the wrong account as you can see the name of the person or business when paying. 'Be cautious of sellers asking you to pay with gift cards or cryptocurrencies.' More than 90,000 scams have been reported to ScamWatch tin 2025, resulting in Australians losing $147m so far this year.
