Southland farmer sentenced for case of animal neglect

Tait’s lawyer, Tanya McCullum, told Judge John Brandts-Giesen that about 18 months before the issue came to a head, the Ministry of Primary Industries got in touch with Tait and sent someone from Rural Support to see him. Rural Support could see Tait was struggling “but they didn’t actually do anything to support him,” she said. “They could see there were problems, and they could see he was needing help, but essentially they said, do something.” This was insufficient as he needed someone to actually assist him, given his wife was unwell, and he was struggling with his own mental health at the time, she said.

Judge suppresses sentence given to Southland woman after $20k mutton-bird fraud

Police inquiries found Bates took pre-payments for the birds, but did not have any mutton-birds or the ability to supply them as promised, the summary says. When Bates appeared in court for sentencing on Tuesday, Judge John Brandts-Giesen​ suppressed Bates’ sentence and personal details. A $21,570 reparation order, to be paid by September 30, 2022​, can however be published. Defence lawyer Scott Williamson did not seek continued name suppression. “Matters of fraud cannot just be swept under the carpet,” the judge said. “This offending of considerable scale,” he said. Publication of personal details “would set the individual up to fail,” the judge said.
