Pinched again

He's was arrested in Queensland today and NSW is applying to have him extradited. https://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/crime/notorious-conman-peter-foster-has-been-arrested-on-a-queensland-beach/news-story/9b8385be7c4423d6fc3074a735863b5b 119.18.0.180 (talk) 00:13, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion to birth and age source (valid?): imdb.com/name/nm2545185/bio Born: September 26, 1962 in Queensland, Australia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8108:8200:3024:484A:6F6:8A35:5F18 (talk) 12:36, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fined "£75,000"

"At 20, Foster was fined £75,000 by an Australian court for attempting to make a fraudulent insurance claim"

No he wasn't, it was an Australian court, and the fine would have been in Australian dollars. Clearly the sources are UK news articles that have converted the currency. Does anyone has a source saying what the fine was in Australian dollars? Ikuzaf (talk) 00:13, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
