A Tasmanian mother-of-four has narrowly avoided jail after she used her council job to scam $130,000 worth of household products.
Casey Maree Bryant, 40, from Bothwell, about an hour north of Hobart, was working as an administrative officer for Central Highlands Council when she set up a Bunnings membership under her employer's details.
A court heard on Friday she would purchase items at Bunnings and other retailers, pay with council cash and then input the items into the system as being for council use.
Ms Bryant pleaded guilty in the Tasmanian Supreme Court to more than 200 charges including 60 counts of fraud and 116 counts of inserting false information as data.
Her husband Jamie Glen Bryant, 42, pleaded guilty to six counts of fraud over presenting fraudulent purchase orders to retailers like Bunnings, Harvey Norman and Beaurepaires.
