An elderly woman shook with fear as she faced Southport Magistrates Court today for stealing almost $400 worth of children’s clothes from a Gold Coast Best & Less. Raewyn Alice Jane Brammer claimed she had taken the clothes to help her daughter, who was escaping a domestic violence situation. Brammer, aged in her 70s, pleaded guilty to a single count of stealing. It was the first time in her life she had been before the courts. Brammer only spoke once in court to quietly say she wished to plead guilty. A handwritten letter of apology from Brammer was also tendered to the court. Magistrate Kay Philipson convicted Brammer but imposed no further punishment.

A personal trainer who presented a fake medical certificate to Geelong Magistrates’ Court in a bid to get his driver’s licence back has pleaded guilty to an offence that carries a maximum penalty of 25 years’ jail. Self-employed personal trainer Jason Douglas Nielsen, 38, pleaded guilty to one charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice in Geelong County Court before Judge Susan Cohen yesterday. Nielsen, who runs personal training and fitness classes around Geelong, presented a fake document to the Magistrates’ Court last year, purporting to be from a doctor at MedicAid. The falsified certificate indicated Nielsen had passed drug screening tests necessary to get his driver’s licence back. Prosecutor Andrew Moore told the court that on August 30 last year Nielsen went to the Magistrates’ Court to make an application to be allowed to reapply for a driver’s licence after losing it in 2016 for failing an oral fluid test. He was asked to give evidence under oath and provide a medical certificate proving he had passed a necessary drug test screening.
