Andrew Alasdair Ryan, 47, and his now ex-wife Tania Leonard, 41, used proceeds from a Bunnings scam to fund their lifestyles. A husband and wife who defrauded Bunnings out of more than $270,000 used the cash to fund a lavish lifestyle that included living on an acreage mansion in Tamborine with horses for their two daughters. Andrew Alasdair Ryan, 47, and his now ex-wife Tania Leonard, 41, pleaded guilty in the Brisbane District Court on Wednesday over the operation in which they would steal items from Bunnings and either return them for cash refunds or sell the tainted property. The pair also swindled two friends out of $25,000 and used the money to buy a show horse called Daisy Lane Huntsman for $50,000.

Subscriber only A convicted sex offender has sensationally claimed in court that he is one of the finest people on the planet and is innocent of the crimes he pleaded guilty to six months ago. Paul Robert Ison, of Capalaba, appeared in Brisbane District Court on Thursday after being charged with breaching a suspended sentence imposed on him for sexually assaulting a woman he offered to drive home in November 2018. Ison was given an 18 months suspended sentence in September last year after pleading guilty to two counts of sexual assault he committed against the woman who had become lost on a night out in Wynnum.
