In Sydney, it's March 13, here's what is happening. Matt Wright, the former Netflix crocodile wrangler, has been ordered to pay court costs to Northern Territory Police after questioning the authenticity of a warrant used to bug his home. The 46-year-old was convicted last year on two counts of trying to pervert the course of justice. He's currently serving time in Darwin's Holti Prison and is set for release in May. The charges stemmed from a fatal helicopter crash in 2022 that killed his friend and co-star, Chris Wilson. Prosecutors said Wright tried to interfere with the investigation into the incident. Wright's legal team hired an expert who suggested the warrant might be a forgery, possibly altered from an earlier document. They issued subpoenas to police for related records to check this claim. But after comparing the police copy with one kept by the issue in judge, both turned out identical. Wright's side dropped the forgery allegations right away. The judge ruled the subpoenas were unnecessary and could have been avoided through standard

channels. He also here write with costs for another pointless subpoena on phone records. Wright will finish his ten-month sentence in the community after prison.
